*replaced top "dogbone" motor-mount( was worn and loose)
*all fluids are clean and at correct levels
*not picking up on any vacumn leaks
*replaced fuel filter

Have the fuel pump tested for proper pressure and whether the pressure holds for a minimum of 10-15 minutes after the engine has been turned off.
The humming noise could possibly be a wheel bearing beginning to fail?

Not sure what you mean; you removed the belt and what seemed to disappear?
The jerking; how did you get to 50mph with no belt and not over heat the engine?
The extended cranking during start up or the tire humming noise?
If for whatever reason you suspect the balancer; replace it with an OE and there wont be any doubt on its quality or proper application.
Again not sure where we’re going with this?
The only balancer failures that I’ve seen with these; is the rubber bonding between the two halves of the balancer, would let go and it would cause a knocking noise. I’ve not seen or remember seeing a running issue due to the sensor vains going out of time; they’re riveted to the centre portion of the balancer? I have seen the vains become bent from something hitting them; but that usually destroys the crank sensor and the engine shuts off.

Sorry guess i wasnt to clear.... getting frustrated with it. When its parked and can put it in gear at an operating temp and giving it gas in drive with brake on the motror will seem to miss and shake...... same movement as if driving...... the wheel hum ill deal with. just not sure whats causing this hard jumping around missing.. the motor is almost too quiet to hear while on the road..... anyhow somthing messed up my sensor it had a notch cut in it.. replaced sensor and balancer today.... went for a road test and that hard jerking still appears when under a load..

just wondering does it idle fine? will it sit and idle perfectly normal forever if it could, or is it kinda jumpy?

You may need to bite the bullet on this one and take the vehicle in and have it diagnosed by a tech?
Someone that has a scanner, not so much too read codes; but to evaluate sensor(s) inputs; as to whether they are inputting “normal” values.
There maybe a sensor that is still within its operating range as to not set a code; but is at its extreme end of its range, causing this issue?
