Defective Harmonic Balancer Pulley

I owe two ford traveleris one is just a 01' model and also the different is just a 05' design, both possess the 4.0 engines. Not two sometime ago the gear about the 05' began to create some squalling sound. Therefore being truly a small experienced in vehicleis. I purchased a brand new serpentine belt & changed it. The new guess did peaceful it own some but didn't eliminate the noise. So the next phase was to contact a buddy of mine that functions for ford (Within The support dept.) and have him what he thought. He explained the Harmonic Balancer lever was defective. He started to clarify the middle of the lever consists of plastic and also the outer-ring is steel. With time the steel separates in the plastic and also the serpentine belt might slide along onto the plastic area of the lever and also the steel band slides back nearer to the engine. And so I requested feeling this can be a faulty item honda might repair it free of charge to me. NO was the reaction. Therefore my next issue was just how much could it be likely to price. 550.00 dollars. So then I told him I'd need to delay to obtain it mounted w/d I don't have that type of cash. Then he explained to not generate it till it was set w/d they'd a ford ranger using the same kind of engine which the lever got down and went put the radiator, & it charge him over 1300.00 bucks to repair it. And so I settled, although not before I named honda to question them concerning the problem with all the 4.0 engineis they stated it had been the very first they had found out about the issue, & these were not liable. So then I named six various dealer in the region and requested them when they have now been repairing any issues like mine. All of them stated that they ware solving atleast two per week. That audiois enjoy it ought to be a recognition in my experience. What do you consider. I really hope this can assist many people choose to not purchase a FORD.
