Replaced Idler Pulley and Tensioner at 126k

[BigCars4Ever]

upper idler pulley was making lots of noise. Replaced it and the tensioner for good measure. Couldn't find the lower idler pulley though. Anyone? Going to do the water pump too in a couple of weeks. It has a little play but it should be ok until I have time to replace it. Guess 126k is not too shabby.

Looks like time to make it a garage queen ;)

Ford Part#s

YW7Z8678AA 20.28 Ribbed Idler pulley (Same as 2V so it does not show up easy on the Ford parts system)

XR3Z*8678*BA "Kit" Smooth idler pulley $16.14 (Marauder specific one)

2W7Z*5B209*AA Tensioner $37.21

P.S you can't order the tensioner pulley seperate from Ford, some aftermarket do offer the smooth pulley for this part.


3W3Z*8620*AA Belt $24.68

How about a electric water pump. More life more power better mpg
