While you have the belt off, check the tensioner pulley for any signs of noise or looseness. Mine was tight but when I spun it, it felt like there wasn't any grease left in it. A new one was only about 20 bucks at Ford, and the noise I always thought came from the alternator was instantly gone. Just remember, the bolt holding it on is LEFT handed thread.
