Hi,
I'll keep it short. Last year I noticed my ranger would chirp for a few minutes when it was really cold. Details:
2003 4.0 SOHC so no CAM synchronizer as I understand
30K miles
It's a random metallic sounding chirp that goes away after a few minutes
I replaced:
Alternator
Tension assembly
Idler pulley
belt
Darn if it isn't back again now that it's cold.
I thought it was the alternator because it would squeak when I spun it. I spun the water pump and AC comp pulleys and they seem OK. Fan clutch seems to operate fine.
What's the next common causes?
Thanks,
Chad
