F150TXRD Balancer Noise

[blufin59]

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I have a 2005 f150 TXRD and I read in the Yamaha forum about the balancer problem and heard it on YouTube. My engine has this problem and I need to replace it. I need the part number for the replacement and the part number for the timing belt. I would appreciate any advice and\or documentation on this project. From what I read this is a great web site for informations. Thanks

Take it to your dealer and they can contact Yamaha, Yamaha may help you with the replacement.

I took it to the dealer, he called Yamaha and they declined to fix it (It has 235 hours on it). I don't understand why they won't fix a known problem. I bought a factory service manual and plan on doing it myself.
