Two days ago my truck started to chirp from the camshaft area when hot at idle.When the motor is cold the noise is not there.I checked all the pulleys and they checked ok.I ran the truck without the belt and the noise is there.I replaced the timing belt tensioner pulley and it made no differance.When cold the noise is not present when hot it's there.It does go away when the rpm's increase.The truck has 172,000 miles.I changed the oil 3 weeks ago and used a motorcraft filter. Anybody have any thoughts?
