RE: harmonic balancer?????
The V6 has one. If it has not been upgraded, it could fly apart and do lots of damage. It is on the front of the engine. Look around the flywheel where all of the belts are.
Do a search on this site to learn more. There are lots of entries about it.

a new H.B. from one of the online parts stores is only around $40. You do need a special tool to put it on though, but I went ahead and replaced mine with out any signs of wear just to be sure. $40 before against $3-4k after it blows apart is a no-brainer for me. also check if you're fan clutch is operating, this also goes pretty commonly on these motors as well.
