Harmonic Balancer not indexed to Crankshaft?
I have pulled the Harmonic Balancer off twice now (both times for a crank seal) and I marked the balancer and the shaft and put it back on at the same spot (it can go on four different ways). The Haynes manual asks you to mark the balancer so that that goes back in the same way but the Cummins Factory manual makes no mention of marking the balancer. I think the Haynes manual is wrong in asking you to mark the balancer. Because it is a torsional damper and not a counterweight type balancer, I don't think it has to be indexed to the crank.
Could some one confirm this?

Smart move since the KDP can come out after 100k miles. I had two trucks in the past few month's with KDP damage. Very expensive repair when gears and cover get broken.
