I have been having this recurrent belt shreeking while I drive my Explorer. This is RPM based and starts at 1500RPM whether parked or driven. I have replaced the belt and belt tensioner which have done nothing to alleviate the problem. I believe what may be happening is with respect to the...

I have recently replaced my belt and noticed that it slips at 2500-3000RPM and above. I have searched and noticed that this is rather different as people usually have belt slippage upon startup. There is no other time that the belt slips except this RPM based cause. The tensioner seemed to...
