Jesse do your self a favor, replace the tensioner shock with a new one. I have a 94 9000 and experienced the same symptoms. I tried everything that you noted including replacing the shock from a salvage yard. I even replaced the working AC compressor thinking that it was binding and throwing the belt off. One and a half years and many rescue trips later I gave in and took it to a SAAB shop. The mechanic reached in pulled on the belt and said the tensioner is shot, that belt is too loose. The belt that they put on with the new shock is still there 3 years and 60K miles later
good luck
