I bought all new pulleys for my motor when I it in 4K miles ago. I have a terrible belt squeak. I dont think I replaced the tensioner arm one though.

Where is a good place to get good ones? do I go back to Ford or get them somewhere else?

I got one at the Ford dealer, but they didn't have one Marauder specific so I got one for either a '03 Cobra or a Mach I. The only difference is a little metal tab on it that helps keep the belt on. So, bonus. Or you could just replace the pulley for cheaper.

Even though it was new and only 4-5K miles on it?

Yes, I'd go with the Gatorback belt. Keep the one you take off in the trunk for emergencies.

I got the tensioner from the local Ford dealer after experiencing the chirp and squeak syndrome...and the Goodyear Gatorback belt...installed both...now quiet and silent.
Good luck.

For those of you who like to save money and get the EXACT SAME results when it comes to pullies. NAPA 6203 bearings are your answer for all idlers and tensioner. Super quick to change and only $9/10 each.

Can't get them in St. Louis Napa's. Went to one store near work and they don't carry them. The one store he said did have them, didn't. Looked on their website and it comes up Wix Airfilter. Anybody know another source for these?

Waymon, there is a suffix that I can't recall. I will get that info when I get home. I have the Advance Auto bearing # as well.
