    Lol @ all the comments from people that watch Daves channel. The engine is staying in the truck so they cant cut a keyway, and even the almighty Dave has said that the pins breaking is actually a very rare problem. Internet warriors.

    I don't think that the pins are a problem if the balancer is torqued to 250ftlbs. Some places are saying that cutting the keyway is a "must do" and a weak spot on the Dirtymax. I think that people either don't replace the one time use bolts or don't get a tool to prevent the engine turning. It's a shame that the balancer has to come off to replace the water pump.

    The water pump must have been replaced recently. And someone probably didn’t torque the harmonic balancer with a new lubricated bolt to 74 ft lbs plus 105 degrees. Which ends up to 325 to 390 ft lbs. Just relaying the info.

    My guess is its been off at some stage but not replaced bolt or torqued properly as i bet its done couple hundred thousand miles, if the pin was no good it wouldn't last this long

    Since the crankshaft is still in the engine, there is no good way to cut a keyway accurately. We have to balance the best way to repair with the budget of the customer.

    Bat fix is to machine a keyway in the gear and crankshaft and do away with the pins or you could always get it together and tack it with a rig welder but Dave’s automotive builds a lot of duramax motors and they machine the keyway on every one they build

    I don't have a diesel myself, so I rarely see under the hood of one. But I notice now they all have filter pressure drop indicators on them! My uncle made the same mistake. He was coming up camping, and my dad was following him. My uncle has an 05 Duramax, and my dad commented on the black smoke he saw every time my uncle would get into the throttle. When they stopped my dad opened the filter box and pulled the filter. The gasket kept it's seal but the pleets were all collapsed. They banged the dirt out as best they could and got to the next town with a parts store. Once they changed the filter, my uncle was like "Damn it's like a new truck." Yea, no kidding. So now he changes it every year mileage be dammed 😂.
