Finding a squeaky squawk in a 2018 Ford Explorer with a 3.5 liter engine. The customer was charged $279 to diagnose the issue at a local Ford dealership. The estimated cost to replace a belt tensioner and serpentine belt was quoted at $594, bring the total expense to repair this issue to over $800. I fumble through the repair and save the customer a pile of money in the process. Not sure why it was quoted so high!? I included a product link to the item I purchased below.

Another informative video, Andy. Dropping wrenches sucks, especially when you can't find em.

Thanks Patrick! I'm more well versed in working on older junk, but was able to tinker my way thru this repair. The whole job, brakes included, saved the customer pert near 1k dollars. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Believe it or not there is a bigger belt for yours. Check with Advance. Pissed me off too. Mine just broke last week at 52k

Hey Andy. I stopped enjoying working on cars after I rebuilt the engine in my 1984 F350 4x4. Fwd cars are a pain to work on.

I agree....I don't do it often, but when I do it's always accompanied with a few complaints and choice words. This brought back memories of the terrorizing Pontiac Quad 4 engine of the girlfriend's I used to wrench on....Blah
