Noises are a bear to diagnose. I'll be honest, I was suspicious it could be the water pump as mine's original. But knock on wood never had an issue over all the years I've had the truck. It's a reminder to check all the easy stuff first to rule it out. This was so intermittent depending on the RPM that you only could really test it by taking the belt off and spitting everything.

In my case it was my water pump pulley. I changed it last year. Now its a similar noise but the noise starts only after the engine runs for 10 minutes or so. I suspect the tensior pulley because it see some scratches on it which usually means its loose due to a bad bearing. Which means ill also need a new belt too

I changed my serpentine belt because of a chirp when i randomly turn my car on turns out it was my idle pully it moves side to side.

I’m one of those guys that tries to save a few bucks and so instead of replacing all the pulleys, I just replace the bearing itself which is much cheaper. Replacing all the pulleys with the name brand Motorcraft can really get expensive. On the other hand, replacing with an aftermarket pulley can also be inferior to Motorcraft. If on a tight budget, you can also remove the bearing cover and pack with grease.

For sure, there's multiple ways of going about it. In my situation, I got 10 years out of the gates pulleys and tensioner. So I kept with the gates tensioner and put all new motorcraft pulleys on. With the driving that the truck will see going forward, I'll probably have those pulleys on it for the next 20 years. So to me it makes perfect sense to just get the new stuff. But there's no harm with the way you go about it either.

Also not just the sound but new ones or ones that work properly dont spin 50 rotations like the worn out one which is clearly lost all of its grease, they spin 2 or 3 rotations around and very very quiet..you dont want either end of the spectrum, a seized one that doenst spin at all or one like that in the video that spins too much.

Step 1 - Remove bearing seal with a razor, popping it off carefully. Step 2 - Spray and clean out inside of bearing, re lubricate. Step 3 - Install bearing seal you initially removed. YOU'RE WELCOME!

Just replace the bearing in the pulley, cost like 5 bucks for a skf or Japanese bearing

Certainly an option. But when the tensioner is older, not a big deal to just replace it.

@METATRON333 ай бұрын
Depends. If the tensioner is not putting the proper tension on the belt then you gotta get the whole assembly. If its a whistling noise of some sort and you diagnose it that its the pulley on the tensioner yes there should be replacement just for the pulley. My issue i just fixed today was a squeal or screech on start up and/or using heat or ac, not enough tension and caused belt slipping from a seized tensioner, thing wouldnt even spring back when i loosened it with a ratchet, just gone.

If your referring to the fact you don’t have steering with no belt, you probably have a steering gear pump that has a pulley apart of the belt system meaning it’s belt driven. Without said belt, the pump won’t work causing little to no steering. If you mean your tensioner is seized, just remove the bolts that hold it in place and fix said issue. Sorry if none of this helped
