Like the title says, my tensioner pulley is stuck, it froze up and seized. It squeals somthin awful except when I'm accelerating, like when it is pulling. What's wrong? Also, I took the belt off and tried to turn it by hand and it still wouldn't turn

87f-150

The bearing is bad change the tencher before it breaks the belt or or breaks zomething else

I'm assuming it's the original tensioner to the truck? 87f-150 is right. Just swap out the tensioner for a new one. It's an easy swap, just one bolt. It can cause some serious issues if you don't get that fixed.

That fixed it! Thanks guys!

Hey you have a pic of your tensioner

lksmith95

And by the way I got it for 4 bucks cuz of my rewards card at autozone.

lksmith95

The old one? The pulley or the actual tensioner its self?

Gotta love that rewards card! But it is kinda sad to think about how much money you have spent over the years to get enough rewards for that.

lksmith95

Yeah lol. It's like when you have 5 purchases over $20 you get $20 rewards. So spend 100 get 20 back

Yeah I'm on the program also. It's payed for a few things, like I just got a Bosch o2 sensor for $2.
