I know it's always tough to diagnose via web, but I got a video and that may help. Got an 04 explorer couple weeks back and when it's cold (maybe warm, too, just didn't notice) it has somewhat of a squeal to it. It's not loud like a "I need a new belt" squeal, it's very subtle. Today I remembered to pop the hood and take a peak, and it looked like my belt tensioner was wobbling a bit. Not sure if that's normal or not, but the noise tended to coincide with the wobbles of the tensioner. Is it normal? What do you suggest? WD-40? A new tensioner? Don't think a new belt would take care of it.
Here's a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNUFDmkKpP0 don't get too sidetracked watching the (barely even entertaining) videos of my cobra haha. It's hard to see how noticeable the wobble is from the video, but the last second or two really shows a good wobble. It is more dramatic in person...I'll blame it on the equipment and not the videographer haha.
Thanks.
