Did a search and didnt find anything.. Is it worth to change out the tensioner and water pump pulleys before the belt has the possibility of slipping in rainy weather?

Never heard of a belt slipping in rain.. I do know the idle pulley bearing goes out often, but yours is a 01 I doubt the pulley would be bad unless you had put a supercharger on it then your pulley would go bad alot..Bend your belt back and fourth if it makes any crackling noise belt is going bad..

Autoconsumerguide.com= On GT models with manual trans, the serpentine belt might come off in wet weather. A revised tensioner and water pump pulley are available. (2000-01).

Mightyautoparts.com= also says serpentine belt tracking in alot of different fords during those years too.


Well, if this isnt generating much of a response on a mustang board then it probably is a fluke problem.

I had problems with an '00 5.4 F-150, but not at all with the wife's '01 Bullitt. I wouldn't worry about it I went through DROWNING T-storms on I-81 in that '01, never a wimper or noise.

My serpentine belt came off in the rain

I replaced it and a few weeks later during another rain storm the belt/pulleys started squealing again. I may replace the tensioner to be safe. Last time my belt flew off when I was pulling into my work parking lot.... could be worse on the freeway.
