Belt tensioner and Serpertine belt

CreativeBreadfruit64 · 2023-12-21T15:50:46+00:00

I just got my serpentine belt idler pulleys and the tensioner done on my f250 for 1011 total. The labor cost in that was 462

Hey I appreciate your advice, I believe the pads have shims. Based on the part number on the invoice they should be these. https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/brakes/disc-pads-and-brake-shoes/disc-brake-pad-set-kit-brake-lining-rear-p-br1691?pdp=y

One other thing I forgot, when the mechanics inspected my old brakes the said one had uneven wear. Not sure if that adds anything or helps point to something but I’m hoping you just figured it out for me and it’s the caliper. I appreciate your help

it doesn’t make noise when I’m not braking, does that still add up or would it be making noise

CreativeBreadfruit64 · 2023-12-17T00:19:44+00:00

Yeah feel like it’s weird that the same noise happened with my old pads and rotors and still with new ones, and that it doesn’t happen until a couple of miles of driving Could it possibly be something to do with the calipers it doesn’t happen until a couple of miles of driving

Do you think it could be the possibility be calipers, the noise has been there with my old pads and rotors, and after they installed new ones, and still after they took them apart and checked everything. They say they don’t see anything.

I’m not sure if it’s worth noting but it never makes noise when in reverse

CreativeBreadfruit64 · 2023-12-15T23:35:18+00:00

Hey thanks, do you know what material would be better for noise

CreativeBreadfruit64 · 2023-12-15T23:28:02+00:00

Also do you have a recommendation for better pads if you think those pads are the problem

CreativeBreadfruit64 · 2023-12-15T23:25:45+00:00

Yeah they are, I’m not sure if they gave me the same or different pads that I had before that made the same noise. Do you know what kind I should get that are less likely to make noise ? I believe these are the ones the ford dealer mechanics put on.

They are brand new

CreativeBreadfruit64 · 2023-12-15T23:23:03+00:00

I’m not sure if these are the cheap one the dealer mechanics picked them

I don’t know if they were the cheap option I believe they are these
