Is it a common known problem to the 6.5 td to crack or break a flex plate? Are there any TSB's?

Thanks for your reply

If this is not common what may be the cause?

It appears that the shop that did the install did not torque the flex plat to the torque converter well enough and a bolt or two backed out causing a slight warble noise at first which got progressively worse. I thought it might have to do with the install... got lucky
