Harmonic Balancer, too much $$$$!
I need a new balancer on my LT4 and the chevy dealer said $599.
Thats seems a bit high, does anyone know a cheaper place to get a balancer.

Yeah, that's a bit on the high side...I have part# 12551486 for the LT4 balancer with a list price of $341.86. Give Superior Chevy a call and tell them you want the forum discount on it and you should get it at very close to that price.

is there some reason you can't use a local parts house for a replacement?

I saw that the part is on ecklers for $250. I called and they said its an exact replacement, but its not made by GM. How does this sound?

$599 for the GM piece? Heck you can get better damper from ATI super damper for around $400

I have a brand new LT4 balancer that I removed from a LT4 Crate engine. I will take $300 for it and shipping.
