LS2 Harmonic Balancer replacement

Hi guys,

I have a friend with a LS2 2006 C6, his harmonic balancer is done and he wants to solve the problem.
The car is stock and he wants it stock..so what options does he has ?
The GM balancer is discontinued...

Regards,
Michael

The latest thread of many, many threads...

Budget piece is Summit or maybe Powerbond or SLP, and ATI is the most costly..

Although the GM balancer is a piece of crap it can't be discontinued. Dealers are replacing them all the time.

Get the ATI and don't forget to install the diamond washer.

OP's friend has a fetish about it being stock even thought the ATI is a superior product.

I picked up a used one, had it rebuilt and it looks like new, total investment was $ 325

I will say that the Summit SFI rated piece is not bad for the money, @ 1/2 of ATI
