- 2004 explorer xls
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 tensioner pulley. He made sure it was lined back up correctly and all, but driving a day or 2 later one of the threads on the serpentine belt ( side of the belt closest to the engine) ripped off. He changed out the belt once again & the same thing happened. He has changed out the belt numerous times, as it has done the same thing to each belt. Is it possible it the harmonic balancer? He has says the balancer isn't moving back & forth. What else could it be?
