Curious about how many members have a stock harmonic balancer on their car and what is their mileage.

Im an original owner, 60k on stock h/b, 2001 coupe intake/exhaust car.

FR-CYA

82K on ‘99 FRC with cam and exhaust.

Pounder

not what you asked, but my 99 went bad with 82 K !!!!!!!

STRMLNE

Did it fail and blow the belts?

stief

Mine is being replaced as we speak on my 98. I'll preface this with "as far as I know" it was the original and it started going at 125k.

I have 32,000 on my "new to me" 2001 and am suspicious it is the cause of my "weird idle". May get changed sooner than later; nothing else has worked so far.

Pounder

belts started squealing about 50 miles from home(didn't know if I would make it), when I got home the VD was almost hitting the steering rack !!!! never wobbled ????
already had cam and heads ready for install so, let the fun begin !!!! ended up pulling the engine and resealed it complete and installed new clutch !!!!!!!!!

STRMLNE

Yeah, I would get that diagnosed before you start throwing the parts cannon at it.

My 1999 has about 92,500 and it's ok so far.

Mine is scheduled to be replaced on the 26th. Just started to wobble at 25,000 on 04 .

My '01 currently has 29,000 miles on it. Given that the OE balancers are potentially trouble prone, I replaced mine about 4 years ago, "just because".

kcobain147

03, 8600 miles. Still stock, no issues.

93,350 miles on a 2004 Coupe with original HB.

GuitarGoat

Mine has about 68,500 miles on my 1999 Convertible. Seems to be moving a tiny bit, so I'd like to replace it eventually, just need to find the time to do it.

My 01, 70k no wobble.....

I bought my 03 vert two years ago. I am the second owner and it had 28,000 miles on it. It was in excellent condition but I decided to do hoses, belts and all fluids.
I had already joined this forum and started reading about the HB problem so I decided to go ahead and have it changed out with all new tensioners and idlers.
My stock HB looked good but I could not feel comfortable knowing there could be a failure.
I replaced it with the plain jane Powerbond HB and ARP bolt.
Yeah, it was expensive but peace of mind is good for me. Now I don't even think about it failing.

Kevin-2001C5

47k on my 2001. Just starting to wobble. Its enough to see on the belt tensioner. Will have it looked at soon.

t1fudd

72.5K no wobble yet

lonerider2002

2002 coupe with a little over 102,000 and the orig balancer. Bought it with 87,000 on it. Always had a little wobble but I understand that is normal for the most part. I marked it with some white paint a year ago just to keep an eye on it and there has been no movement thus far. (Knock on wood).

knewblewkorvette

About 37K miles on my 02, still stock. My 99 had it's changed when it got supercharged....at least I hope so.....
