Has anyone on here with the 4.0L ever had their harmonic balancer come/almost come apart? Mine started off about a month ago throwing the accessory belt. Then about 2 weeks ago, it did it again, then for the third time again today... going about 70 m.p.h. so i was like "oh, simple fix, the tensioner come loose again" cuz that's what i originally thought it was. well, as i'm trying to get my back-up belt on since it ate the one that was on it :smsoap:, one of my classmates (who drives a 95ish XJ with the 2.5L) stops to help me... well we get it back on, and i fire it back up and it immediately throws it again so we both like "well... f$*&" get to lookin and he notices that the balancer has slid forward and that was what was causing it to slip the belt... we get it to school (semi-legally) and after class and about 3 hrs. and almost $100 later it's fixed and running like new :cheers:
