I have heard that some wobble with a factory damper is common. Was just under truck with it running and noticed some wobble to the one on my truck. Has anyone looked at their balancer while running at idle? Any wobble?

No wobble here. Maybe the rubber bushing in yours is worn out.

If u can look at the rubber ring that seperates the two peices, see if it looks very mushroomed out, alil is normal but means it may be on its way out, though it may last a long time u never know. Be glad its not a John Deere I have to change one and its 900 bucks for just the dampner

Thanks everyone for the comments, feeback and parts offer. I had someone look at it that knows a lot more than I do. The diesel shop that looked at it said that it looks okay. It does have a little more movement than some and less than others. I will keep an eye on it. The rubber is good, no separation. These factory units apparently do not have tight machine tolerances in manufacturing. Some slight movement is normal and the key as farmboy mentioned above, is the sandwiched rubber condition. The shop said the balancers on the DT466 motors need to be replaced quite a bit over time and they have replaced many. However, the T444E motors rarely have issues with the balancers going bad.
