Anyone know where I could find a stock truck balancer that has already been machined for a key way (same size as the oil pump one)? I want a keyed balancer but dont want an underdrive one and also dont want to use pins or a pinning kit.

 

Hmmm, I guess just take one to the local machine shop ?

Sorry I'm no help , but I have one that has been pinned , you can have it for free if it will help .

 

Local parts store and buy a file?? lol

 

Ati??
but thats not stock..

 

Was hoping for something more professional than that

 

I have a stock balancer that was keyed by a local machine shop that I was running prior to the 8-rib swap. I had the stock crank machined for a key by the original the shortblock builder. Is your crank already machined for a keyway?

 

Yea I have a dragonslayer crank I think the extra key slow is the same size as the oil pump key, do you have a picture of yours?

 

Pics of keyed balancer attached...

 

That looks about perfect! Do you remember how much it was to have done, or would you be interested in letting that one go?

 

They charged me for an hour of shop labor, $60-70 iirc. This is the original balancer off my truck and has ~140K miles on it so if you have a fresher one, you may be better served having it machined locally. However, I am not all that attached to this one.
