When I bought my 92 F150 when it was new it had an irritating chirping noise coming from the serpentine belt[really bad when it was wet outside] well to make a long story short-3 belt tensioners and a half dozen serpentine belts later the dealer discovered a bulliten for the 92 vans with this problem and the fixed it by shiming power steering pulley out about a 1/16th of an inch to fix it so they tried it on mine and it worked[8yrs and not a chirp] just thought I would pass this on !
