(reported on)

Ranger XL 3.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles

When put in gear and cold, rattling noise coming from the power steering, tensioner, idler pulley area. Goes away after engine is warm. Tensioner pulley and idler pulley have been replaced. Serpentine is stretched and out of specs. Replaced serpentine belt from Autozone that was slightly smaller than stretched original but still out of specs. Noise still noted.
