[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1049397, member: 74901"] Assuming you're refering to having SerpBeltTensioner replaced to resolve that squeal? I was refering to OilPressurizedTimingTensioners (One@LeftFront+Another@RightRear On EngineHeads); they're NotoriousFailureItems on Ford V6~4.0L~SOHC Engines; should be renewed every 100kMiles\12years along with Plugs+Wires+OxSensors+... These TimingTensioners are relatively easy to replace, but if left long enouth they tend to sludge up with age & allow TimingChains to run loose & start breaking TimingGuides+ValveCovers+.... then pulling engine is needed to fix.
