    Unhappy 2004 Mercury Marauder ticking issue

    https://youtu.be/B8rTvbIS134
    Hey all. My 04 has a pretty annoying sound. Can anyone advise the steps to fix this? I changed the idler pulley, serpentine belt, and tensioner pulley. Noise still there. Any help is greatly appreciated. The link above is has a small 30 second clip.

    Have you tried to run it briefly without the serpentine belt installed to see if the noise is still there? How many miles, it could be the cam chains slapping due to failed tensioners.

    Take the belt off and start it, see if sound gone, if it is, could be alternator. Don't run too long with no belt as coolant won't circulate
