If the tensioner and pulley bearings are going to crap, you can replace those. The ones in mine were really dry and rough. You can get the bearings at any ol' Napa, or similar. Just drive them out with a punch, and hammer the new ones back in. Also, I've heard (now i'm not an expert) that Ford P/S pumps are notorious for putting out a high pitched squal. Mine does it on cold mornings often, until it gets warm, just as yours does. If none of this is the culprit, pleased disregard my nonsense.

Its the serpentine belt. Ford obviously didnt do a good job. DO they ever? Ive never seen it if they have. Just get louder xhaust and turn up the radio, if anyone hears it tell them you just got a new blower
