Pioneer Haromic Balancer for Explorer
OEM harmonic balancers installed as original equipment on 2005 Explorers are defective. They have since been improved and part number has rolled, but were on back order for 45 days when I needed one. The Pioneer was available from Advance Auto. I called Pioneer to see where they got these crank pulleys and talk to their quality guy. He said they either came from China or Australia, but Advance only sold the ones from Australia which he said were of better quality. I have 1300 miles on it now. So far, so good. Better than waiting 45 days for a back ordered OEM part. Only has 1 year warranty. Pioneer harmonic balancer was 1/3 the cost of the OEM part.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
