Can a bad Harmonic balancer cause SERP belt to be eaten up?
My 1996 OLDS 3800 series 2 - V6 got a new serp belt. One week later the belt was shredding on the outside.
Brought it back to the shop & they said HARMONIC BALANCER is bad.
The Shop could not get the harmonic balancer off.
They gave me another new belt & sent me packing.
I am wondering how they really know the balancer is bad?
so far new belt is holding.
I am wondering if they were trying to UPSELL ME originally.
Any GM tech GURU's? any ideas?
