[QUOTE="freeman42, post: 14641630, member: 161314"] I would try installing a new bearing in the old idler, if the thing hadn't gotten run over a dozen times while it was bouncing around on the road for a few days. Now, I've got not one but TWO new idlers on the way from LFP, plus a new belt and lower pulley ring. Let's hope the quality control is a little tighter on the new bearings. I'm having a hard time locating the legit part number for the s/c belt tensioner. I think its a Motorcraft BT63, but I'm not 100% sure. I've found a couple of places listing a part number, but when I go to Rock Auto or eBay or O'Reillys, that p/n is for a smooth pulley tensioner (obviously for the main belt). They ain't cheap, either....Motorcraft BT63 (if it's the right one) is $60 around here. I'm already out $150 for the new belt and lower ring. [/QUOTE]
