harmonic balancer

I have a 2012 Explorer Limited with 2.0 Ecoboost. The outer sleeve of the harmonic balancer completely separated and slid off. Luckily it happened in a parking lot and I found the other sleeve right underneath so it didn't cause any more damage. I'm hoping to get thoughts and input on what...

We recently purchased a 2004 ford explorer xls. When we purchased the vehicle the gentlemen told us that the serpentine belt squeaked a little because a mechanic split some power steering fluid on the belt when it got changed out. My fiancée changed out the belt the next day & change the...

Hi all I have a stupid chirp that has progressed to a squeal and I believe the balancer is the culprit. For the life of me I cannot find the part number for the TTY retaining bolt. I keep reading not to reuse the torque to yield bolt but can't find the reference to the right part for 1998 SOHC...

I have an 04 4.0 and I installed a new Dorman harmonic balancer to help with a rough idle issue. Now I am getting random misfire codes (P0300, P0301, P0305). I have brand new plugs and wires (motorcraft) and tested the coil pack. Do I have to replace the Crankshaft sensor for the new...

I've got a 2004 4.0 L which will not start. It all started about a year ago, I was driving on the freeway, when the engine went into failsafe mode. The electronics were still working, but I had no throttle response and the power steering went out along with the power brakes (a bit scary at...

Hope someone out there can answer a couple of questions regarding my parent's Explorer. The vehicle is a 2005 Explorer with a 4.0L engine. A couple of weeks ago my mom was driving down their road when she heard a loud noise. She thought she had hit a pothole, but the vehicle continued to...

Need to replace the harmonic balancer on our 2004 4.0L SOHC. The mechanic has removed the old one and after getting a replacement one, he has told me that the replacement is longer than the old one and won't fit... Are there different size/length pulleys in the 02-05 engines? It doesn't...

I'm starting a new thread, as I have decided to buy the 98 XLT with a broken harmonic balancer. Picking it up tonight. Before I decide to replace the engine, which I am fully prepared to do, how can I determine if the problem is a cracked crankshaft or just the harmonic balancer. As far as...

:(I just installed an '06 ranger motor in my 99explorer. Now I have a vibration that shakes the interior moderatly when I accelerate through the gears. I noticed that the pully on the harmonic balancer is not true, like the rubber has been compressed on one side and not the other, has anyone...
