Well after 75,000 miles, the idle tensioner finally gave out. Does anyone know of a company that sells aftermarket ones or am I gonna be stuck getting a replacement from Ford?

I think it did pretty good ! .........75K

To be honest I don't know if they have a after market one yet but I don't see any problem replacing it by the OEM one !

I am sure there is no problem with the oem one, but I like to upgrade when things break.

the one form ford was twice as expensive as the one from strauss. I got the strauss one. mine (the oem one) lasted 91k miles. I dont think that part should wear out till after like 150kmiles. alot of ford parts really stink.
