Ford Van Fan/Serpentine Belt and Pulley Repair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- Replacing a Ford van belt, idler pulley and tensioner on a 2011 Ford E350 van. This Ford van had a bad noise coming from the engine. There was an abnormal noise coming from the front of the engine and the owner was concerned it could be a cam phaser or timing chain issue. Usually if that is the case a 'rattle' will be heard especially on cold start up. In this case the abnormal noise was constant and mostly heard during idle. In the video we show the steps used to diagnose the issue and what needs to be replaced/repaired. The tools for this job are minimal and not to difficult. Like, comment and subscribe down below. Thanks for stopping by the channel. -Glen (Ozzstar)

Ha ha, watching this shows how much effort happens behind the scenes when you're trying to record the experience. Great camera angles, excellent audio.
Appreciate that, sometimes I get lucky. haha
Vans make me swear more than normal ... 😁
Nice easy fix there - good deal. I can't imagine doing any major engine work the way they stuff those van engines way back in there. Nice work, daahctah (Dr.) Glen! 😎🍻
Thanks for this tutorial!! Just got done changing idler pulley and belt tensioner on my '08 Ford E-250 w/ close to 200,000 miles. I don't think the tensioner pulley would have lasted another 50 miles !! Job went smooth especially the tip on where to start the belt!! Just wish my arms were a little longer. Also bought the tensioner tool. It really made the job easier.
Good to see you posting more.
Glad to see that you didn’t have any phaser issues. I’m sure you didn’t want to tear into that engine. Have a good weekend Glen! 😀
It's a 2V 5.4L, no need to worry. Have a good weekend as well!
Yes much smoother. I was surprised to see they still make them style of vans still just in a cutaway version. Cheers
Ford stopped making that style cargo van in 2014.
well done straight to the point , without music or going into what you had for lunch or did last weekend , like some others , i will subscribe
Thanks Matt!
My ‘07 , E150 , 5.4 with 150k was doing that last month. Not nearly as bad, just an annoying squeal like a wet belt. Anyways I paid the mechanic around $150 to fix those three items because I just don’t have the patience to work in that confined space. Next spring he can fix my A/C.
Almost had like a slight chatter/chirp via camera mic. Nice fix! Much easier & cheaper than the phaser & chain job
Sounded way worse in person but he bought the van anyway.
@@ozzstars_cars maybe the box is made in the usa lol, that was hilarious, and the part is probably made in china.
Super duper job there Glen. Sounds great Buddy
Music to your ears
Good job
Top work mate I bet your friend was happy with the news 👍👍👍😊
Yes he was relieved, and glad I fixed the oil leak as well. haha
Good video Glen
good info. New subbie we are farmers and always lots of things that need work
Whip it out and stretch it out. 😂 awesome video!
Oh yeah that's how it's done when you have the right equipment. 😂😃😂
I put a stethoscope in my cart. I changed the belt on my truck a few years ago (routine maintenance) and everything seemed fine. I was under the hood a few days later and my new belt was being eaten by a locked up idler pulley. This tool would have identified the problem in advance and it’s too cheap not to own one.
Great tool to have when you need it.
Awesome video thank you so much
Glad it helped Lou
thank you
Good fix I have had that same issue before
Thanks Scott
Thank you. 😊
👍
Thanks dude.
You're welcome Alberto
Well I’m back sooner than I would have liked lmao. Got the shock job done as well as brakes / oil change / air filter and fresh coat of paint in the wheels. I left my sisters in Denver colorado to head into the mountains yesterday and ended up getting towed back. My ac compressor completely ate itself and it go so hot it snapped my acc drive belt like a knife through hot butter. The bearing in the ac clutch definitely makes a little noise but it runs and doesn’t produce any heat with the new belt on.
I was thrilled to see you had a video on this as your videos have helped me out tremendously and you seem to have some experience working on these old rust buckets. So my question for you is have you worked on any of the 5.4l engines that don’t have ac? I’ve been researching just bypassing the ac compressor but the only solution I have found still requires removal of the bad compressor which is what im trying to avoid until winter is over (not sure if you’ve seen how those things come out on the 5.4 but it’s a real pain in the ass) any thoughts on getting a shorter belt to bypass?
Thanks I’m advance 👍🏼👍🏼
I have thirty plus years working on vehicles and have seen more than a few air conditioning compressors that lock up and throw the belt or just seize and prevent the engine from starting. When an a/c compressor is removed an idler pulley and bracket must be installed in it's place. I don't know your specific vehicle type but you will need to look it up. Now that you have some direction it should look similar to the idler pulley in the link, check fitment! amzn.to/3VE6aHk
That's a handy tool but I have a question. Have you ever had that on your ears and accidentally hit the end of it? Holly crap is that loud. :) You made it look easy. I hate working on vans.
Yeah even with all the ringing that I have in my ears you can't miss that steth sound!
Oh aye Glennnnnnnnn, you get all the handy jobs. Manual ratchets are for real men - yoga pants are not haha
Enjoyed the video, don't like working on vans at all myself.
The fun never ends.
Ozzstar Good old mates rates job too I’m sure 😂
Ever had any issues with the seal in the power steering blowing out? I’ve been told not to move the steering wheel for at least 60 seconds upon the initial start up of the day
Never heard that one before
I dont believe the 3valve was ever put in the econoline. But same problem on my 2012 E350.
Definitely comes in handy. Just don't touch anything else down there
I hear ya Jim!
Does the belt get wrapped over the fan before routing the belt. Working on a 4.2 but I would think it would be the same
Not really sure what you mean.
@@ozzstars_cars The belt is a loop. Does it get looped over the fan with the fan shaft in the center before starting?
That pulley you were tapping is that the idle pulley, and is it bigger in circumference than the other pulleys?
Yes that is the idler pulley. I don't recall the size.
@ozzstars_cars Thanks man your replied means a lot, and I also saw that you didn't take off the tension first apply the pulley, and then screw the tension back. Which I did, so I got to back and restart. Thanks again, and enjoy the day wherever you're located.
I also have an ‘09 E150 and the steering shaft I believe is rusted up needing replacement next spring, the parts are expensive 🤑
That's an important part to be working well.
Yes but A/C is right up there. PB Blaster got it limbered up enough to drive into winter storage. Also very odd is the radio has no sound for like 5-7 minutes after start up. Then it’s perfect, there is always power to the unit and adjust the station etc, almost like a time delay, very odd 👽 but it is a Ford ....
Its just one bolt. Shouldn’t be too difficult to get out. Oh how thats bitten me in my behind. 😂
Does noise get louder when you press the gas?
Yes it can
How much could this job cost? 🇺🇸 street repair price?
Depends how much the got. haha
1st boom
Thanks Mr. Boom!
hardest part putting it all back together which we got 0 guidance on
Looking for a refund? The billing department will be sending you back every cent you didn't pay.. 🤣🤣🤣
@@ozzstars_cars garbage
Can’t hear what your saying
Turn that volume up bud.
