Did you get a cylinder specific engine code? Should throw a P0302 for cylinder #2. What do the other plugs look like? Did you change all the coils and plugs?
The CEL is a check engine light. Should throw a misfire code if one of the valves isn't opening. If you kept it running it would probably be a flashing CEL (little engine icon near gages). That means a hard misfire which is bad for the catalytic converters.
These are actually hydraulic lash adjusters. If they don't pump up the rocker will be loose and can fall off. I had a #2 exhaust rocker fall off twice. Second time I replaced the lash adjuster and it never happened again. If the rocker wasn't damaged then just replace the lash adjuster. Pretty...
If the diesels are anything like the gassers, the sensor swells and is very difficult to pry out. So, be gentle when prying. I changed it on my 02 with the gas 3.7L but I had the motor apart to replace the crank.
This place has a good reputation around my area.

It's only about an hour or so away from me.
Would help if you list approximately where you're located. There are people who use this site from all over the world.
When my hg failed in my 02 kj I had a milkshake in the crankcase. I have used a pressure tester to apply pressure to the cooling system and found an "external" hg leak on a Subaru. If you're leaking alot from combustion chamber into coolant you'll know by the boiling coolant. If you're getting...
Check all grounds you can get to and make sure the battery connections are very clean and secure. These things do all sorts of weird stuff with bad electrical connections. The headlights on without taillights sounds almost like a DRL circuit. I guess the timer after shutdown would be similar.
You mentioned harmonic balancer. Did you watch it while running? I had one starting to fail on an 11 avenger and you could see it wobble. They can be tough to see and look OK. The rubber fails but they don't actually get loose at first.
Yeah, probably the outer clutch pulley bearing, but when the clutch engages it changes the amount of stress/force on the whole serpentine system. I have seen it actually quiet other pulleys that were failing so spin all the pulleys while the belt is off.
Did you remove the serpentine belt and spin the outer pulley? If it's just the bearing you should feel it. A clutch replacement would fix this but the bearing itself is replaceable too. That T68184 seems to be a carquest part so seems like there should be a kit or at least a bearing replacement...
The problem would be finding the replacement. I doubt there's much replacement support for that unit. I did the OE clutch in my 05 a while back and it was no big deal. The process is probably the same with the replacement you have but finding that correct clutch is unlikely.
I wouldn't worry too much. Just keep an ear on it and see if it gets louder. Mine eventually became a chain rattle/slap noise after a few years. Mine was over 160k at the time.
