Folks with 32RH trans - do you have a harmonic balancer on your rear driveshaft?

[psrivats]

I am trying to test out a theory for harmonic vibrations in Jeeps and I really would get additional information from Jeep owners with 32RH trans irrespective of the year. Do any of you have an harmonic balancer in your rear driveshaft? It looks like this - the big circular thingy right next to the boot on the driveshaft in the pic below.

Can people take a quick peek in their jeeps and reply here with year of the jeep and whether you have it or not?

Ex:
2000, 32rh, no balancer

I REALLY would appreciate this information. Thanks in advance, guys!

@Serbonze already gave some info.

September 2000 build date with a 32rh. Although I have a SYE, I’m positive it didn’t have a harmonic balancer before the swap (I kept the old parts around for awhile).

Mine did not have one before I did the SYE install.

Thanks for sharing. What year is your Jeep?

 

[Jerry Bransford]

My 32RH did not.

2002

I did the SYE kit, put on a Ford 8.8, Dana 30 HP, and had custom drive shafts made.
I don’t have any vibrations until I get up to around 70 mph.

Thanks. What axle gears are you running?

4.10

I am probably one of the lucky ones. The vibes were terrible before I swapped to the high pinion up front.

So we have 3 jeeps, from 2000/2001/2002 with 32RH without the balancer. This is all I needed to know.

More info is always welcome. Additional supporting data is always useful.
