** NOTES ** – The 7.07″ Damper is available however should only be considered for applications OVER 550HP. The larger 7.07″ damper weighs 6.25lbs compared to the smaller 6.25″ damper which only weighs 3.9lbs! The 6.25″ Damper will provide all the protection your engine needs while being as light weight as possible contributing to quicker revs. Most applications will bennifit with the use of the 6.25″ damper and is what we keep in stock on the shelf. If you require the 7.07″ damper, we can source it for you directly from the manufacture and can take 1-2 weeks to ship depending on availability and or production times.

Under drive pulley systems increase engine horsepower by reducing the amount of power required to drive external accessories. For example, the alternator, power steering, water pump and air conditioner all rob horsepower from the engine. By replacing factory-sized crank and accessory drive pulleys with a resized pulley, the accessories are slowed, resulting in more horsepower available to drive the rear wheels.
The harmonic balancer, which is also known as a harmonic damper, is essential to the longevity of an engine since it prevents crankshaft failure. It is usually mounted at the front end of the crankshaft in order to absorb and dissipate the majority of the vibration energy. It consists of the hub, an outer weight ring, and a sandwiched layer of flexible rubber. It is the rubber that absorbs the energy of the vibrating crankshaft in the form of heat, damping the amount of vibration to within safe limits.
The crankshaft is the part of the engine that converts the up and down motion of the pistons and connecting rods during the combustion cycle into rotary motion that spins the transmission and the vehicles drive wheels. Every time a cylinder fires, the force twists the crankshaft. When the cylinder stops firing the force ceases to act and the crankshaft starts to return to the untwisted position. However, the crankshaft will overshoot and begin to twist in the opposite direction, and then back again. Eventually the crankshaft will experience torsional vibration which can cause it to fail after some time.
In order to keep this problem from occurring, installing a harmonic balancer for your vehicle is necessary and every 4 stroke engine made will have some form of a harmonic balancer installed. Otherwise, engines would not last much further than a trip to the end of the street and back.
CHOOSE THE CORRECT BELT
We have listed 2 belts that have been verified on Dodge Rams. If you know the belt length you need for your application, please let us know and we will add it to the product page.
The 25% under-drive pulley will require a belt that is between 2.75″ & 3.00″ shorter than the recommended factory belt. Simply look up your belt size and belt length, then subtract 2.75″ – 3.00″ from that and you will have the correct length belt to run with your 25% under-drive pulley. Simply order the correct belt length that has the same rib count/width (6-rib/20.96width) as factory however shorter for the UD pulley. If you send us the information, we will add the belt to the product page for one stop shopping
