Crankshaft Balancer - A/C Manifold line - 2004 Ford Explorer (Sports

The crankshaft balancer went bad on my 2004 Explorer - Sport Trac truck. The alignment of the balancer pulley (journal) where the serpentine belt rides on got off alighment & started cutting into the AC manifold line. I have $1390.00 of damage. I was wondering how this could happen to a new truck 2 years old. I had my serpentine belt replaced in service. Is there a chance the belt put in too tight or installed wrong to make the balancer go bad?

If anybody has links or ideas where I could research this I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks, Dee

Hi,

Did you buy it new? How many miles? Who drives it besides you?
