Grrrrrrrrrr
I SWEAR THE NEXT TENSIONER I HAVE TO REPLACE I WILL TAKE IT OUT AND THROW IT THROUGH THE FRONT WINDOW AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I HAVE REPLACED 4 TENSIONERS IN THE PAST 3 years. granted this was on diff trucks but all were mazda with the ford 3.0. I just dont get why these tensioners wear out so fast. i can put these things in, in my sleep

i have a 2003 3.0L and have replaced the idler and tensioner 3 times already do to the damn squeeking. I have seen this a lot in the shop i work at. Seems pretty common, and btw mine started at 3k miles the first time.
