Help!

What is this god awful sound? It is a 2006 4.4. It only happens at idle. Is this the tensioner pulley going bad?

Sounds like the soundtrack in dawn of the dead.
All jokes aside, sounds like a pulley(alternator/idler)..and please change that avatar

Thanks for the responses. Is a pulley repair an expensive fix at the dealer? Or better off going to a indy?

Why are you guys getting all bent out of shape about an avatar, it's just a scene from a movie? I thought we're to help each other in times of need?

Because it is celebrating evil?

Have whatever name and avatar you like. But don't expect others to necessarily respond positively to it. I'd just ignore any questions from anyone called evil on principle.
