Correct crankshaft pulley bolt for an 89 3.0?

[Deleted member 144409]

Gurus,

I know I read a thread here or on 4x4 Wire about crankshaft bolt part numbers but I can't find it.

The parts catalog has bolt / washer as MD138069 / MD096030.

I ordered one from the Dodge dealer and it looks nothing like the stock one, though I'm pretty sure the stock one changed.

Is this the correct bolt? The washer is also ~1 mm thicker.

yes

chamfered edge of the washer goes to the head of the bolt. this according to mitsu tech .
for the life of me i cant say why.

The bolt and washer pictured above in the package are the correct parts. They are also the only parts available from the dealer when selecting the harmonic balancer bolt, therefore you cannot mis-order the part.

If you have the used bolt pictured above, or your bolt does not look like the one in the package above, change it. Change it NOW.
