Balancer coming apart?

Had anyone had there harmonic balancer come apart? I have had a squeek noise for the last couple of days; took a long hose and listed to everything and it sounds like it is coming from that area. It only does it when hot. I also found some metal dust around the bottom of the motor.

Anyone had any experiences with this?

The motor is making around 500rwhp right now.

You have a point

I had a problem about two weeks ago. Which I had had this happen about a year ago also. The truck has underdrive pulley's, and it destroyed the belt/tensioner. It happens when I am about 3/4 to full throttle and for some reason have to back off before it shifts. You can hear the belt squeel HARD. I try my best not to do it, but it happen two weeks ago, and when I got home the accessory belt was split/off a couple of groves and the tensioner was bent. I replaced them and everything seemed fine, but then it started making this squeeking noise.
