Hey guys. New here, well not really new, I usually use the search box and you guys answer my questions, so I never posted anything. But hello!
I am having an issue with my belt tensioner. During cold starts it rattles back and fourth really quickly. I was wondering if this was covered under the power-train warranty. I called one local Ford dealer, and they referred me to Ford. I called them, they said its needs diagnosed first. UGH. I called another dealer, they said it might be covered, but they would have to look at it first, and they can't schedule me for 10 days out.
I don't want to have to pay a diag fee when i could replace the part myself for around 60 bucks. But I would rather the dealer do it, if its covered.
Anyone else have this kind of issue, or maybe it is something to be on the lookout for. My Explorer has 54k on it. Thanks in advance, I gotta get back to work now.
