[Tominator88]

Make sure the heat exchanger is secured properly. Run it to see if there are any chaffing marks after a while. It may be OK. Serpentine belts tend to be better behaved than V belts because of the tensioner.

But will the HX behave? See if you can push it towards the belt to see how much travel it has if it's vibrating

Yeah - willing to bet someone stepped on the heat exch or was laying on it. Wonder if it can be tweaked back a bit
