ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE TENSIONER HAS BROKEN SEVEN TIMES IN TWO YEARS. WHEN THE TENSIONER BREAKS, THE BELT THAT OPERATES THE WHOLE SYSTEM BREAKS. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED PREVIOUSLY. THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FORD TRUCKS, BUT THEY OFFERED NO RECOURSE. WE HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE THAT NO INJURY HAS OCCURED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, IT IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR EVERY TWO TO THREE MONTHS.
