Harmonic balancer. The vehicle was rough idle and loss of power in all driving ranges. It was thought initially it was a slipping belt by the loud noise emitted from that area. Some silicone spray quieted it down initially but got worse over several days and the lube spray did nothing to abate it. Then upon further inspection while running the harmonic balancer was found to be wobbly. Upon forum checking was a known problem. Removal was simple once the correct longer bolt secured to pull the old one off and install the new one. Since has been trouble free. Takes about 2 hours or so to complete all in 1 shot with the tools and part on hand. So figure 2.5-3.5 hours to complete repair. You do not have to remove the rad. Also a new belt was installed at the same time. Total cost for parts was about 250-300 dollars CDN.
