Good description of replacement. I ordered the same kit, from rock auto.... It's been about 12 years since I replaced the original belt. It was easy, except for installation of the belt!! But got it done in about an hour. Thanks!!!!
Thanks for the excellent video! I had to replace pulley and tensioner on my 2009 Expedition with the 5.4L engine. It is exactly the same operation, and this video was a big help, especially the method to route the belt. By the way, the torque specs on the tensioner assembly's 3 10mm bolts is 18 ft-lbs. I couldn't find any torque spec for the idler pulley bolt, so I guess call it "snug".
Great video! Thanks. My only comment is, why does Amazon show the Idler Pully 89006 you're installing doesn't fit a 2003 Ford F150? I had orderd the 89007 pulley which it says fits that truck.
Amazon is sometimes wrong on their parts fitment. I assure you the 89007 fits the 2003 f150 with the 4.6 or 5.4 motor. You can also double check with www.rockauto.com on the parts list.
I always get a laugh when the video starts by .......first thing to do is open the hood.. Geeeeeeze if the guy does not know this then he should not even TOUCH the engine. The video is very good
