Are you serious, you can't change a belt or a pulley? Who changes your underwear for you ?

Mommy?

 

2004+ do not have IAC due to the addition of electronic throttle


Be nice brew, Darren i can walk you through it if you want me to.


My opnion it sounds different then a pulley noise, but what do i know

 

Yea, yea, - can't change a belt, but can build an exhaust system and help others out as well? That doesn't compute. - What's going on here

 

Exhaust is easy, thats where I have education in. I can do exhaust work, but I never had many opportunities to work on enginges. So like I said i'm not very mechanicaly inclined. So sorry to disappoint you. Its not like it a fourwheeler. If changing belts is simple and straight forward with the basic handy mans tools I could consider it.

 

There's a 1/2" square hole in the tensioner that fits a ratchet . That's it.

Are you still trying to get that round peg into a square hole or something ? Are you that bad off ?

Man, sorry for your luck.

 

Very funny. I have not touched my engine, I simply asked if that sound was normal because my common sense tells me it doesn't sound good, so I wanted to hear opinions.

I lifted the hood after I started this morning, I dont hear it but I heard a similar faint high noted sound is coming from the passenger side of the engine, listened closer and it sounds like its coming from the filter box. I pulled it out and inspected the filter, still very clean ( replaced with another Motorcraft in November ) some of the foam sealings around the box has broken away in little bits, but I do not hear the whistle while driving.

 

the new pulleys are nylon.. thats why it makes a different squeal when the bearings go out. harmonics are different with nylon and metal

 

I could walk you through it on the phone. It is easy trust me man you can do it.

 

If you open the hood, you should have a sticker there that shows you the belt routing Darren.

The Idler pulley is just above the tensioner - Not sure if you need to change that tho - What ever the TSB said I would do - It sounds right

It is really simple. Best thing to do in your case is buy one of those "Ford Service" DVD's from ebay for 9-12 bucks. Their lots better than Haynes or Chiltons - even with the simple stuff. - There more vehicle specific.

 

11,000 + posts and that's the best you can come up with? I give the guy credit for at least asking a decent question. Even if some of the answers were as sad and pathetic as yours.

 

The best is right above your post bonehead. Pay attention,- before coming to the rescue. It just might help your problem.

 

that my friend is the dreaded alternator scream. mine does the same thing just keep forgeting to get a work order made so i can change it..... very common in cold weather and the only fix is a new alt. see it all the time very common in F150s up here.

 

That's right, the best idea is to perform a TSB for a different vehicle. You are genius.... oh wait it wasn't even your idea was it?

 

Now your learning ace - Keep reading, I'll check up on yuh later.

 

Learning huh..... I think you are a bleeping *&^%&$. If half of your posts are as bad as the ones on this thread then you need to find another hobby and quit wasting peoples time.

As far as the noise, take it to the dealer and leave it there overnight. They can then start it in the morning and hear it. If you search this and other forums you will find that most have cured this problem with a new alternator. I can tell you that it is not the A/C clutch. Simply turning your heater to floor will ensure that the A/C compressor does not turn on. If you are still concerned then you can unplug the compressor itself. I would not recommend using a screw driver or other items to listen for the noise unless you are familiar with this type of diagnosis. It can be dangerous and unless you are familiar with the way sound travels through steel it can give you a false idea of the actual problem.

Good luck
