Mine was making a loud squealing when you let it idle, would get a hell of alot quieter when it was moving, it was the Harmonic Balancer, now it runs like a sewing machine and well worth the $89.00, if you keep driving, you will be selling it for scrap, easy to change, take driver's side front tire off look straight at the Balancer through the Factory cut hole through the fender well, get half in. Drive Impact, take the Balancer bolt out, the four smaller bots out and it comes right off.
