squeak

I have an 01 ranger 3.0 and I have a problem...I cant get the squeak to go away. We have replaced the water pump, Idler pulley (twice in 6 mo. old one was fine) I also replaced the belt when I changed the idler pulley the first time. I have cleaned the pulleys and belt.

When I spray wd40 on it, it will stop for about 20 mins or so, but then comes back.

Then tensonor seems fine not alot of play in the belt

any help will be great I have been working on this for over a week

Check for small coolant leak near oil pan and front of block. That is were I found the source of coolant getting on the belt on my 2001 3.0 . I dumped a can of bars leak pellets to solve problem.

change the tensioner and belt. the tensioner gets weak over time, and since the belt is again squeaking it will probably continue with a new tensioner.
