I am not a mechanic but i bought a v8 swapped Ranger. It has a 5.0 Mercury Mountaineer engine transmission and rear end.
There is a Low to high pitched squealing noise that come from the motor or engine sometimes while driving. It sounds like a belt or a pulley.
I Messaged the Mechanic who did the v8 swap and he said that it wouldn't be a belt because he replaced the belt while doing something to the clutch.
I am wondering if this is a common problem with this engine? Cause i found a you tube video of a Idle pulley being the problem.
What most likely is the problem?
The noise isn't constant, It only happens every now and again. It sounds like a slipping.
Also my motor or engine generally has a ticking sound while accelerating i just want to make sure that is normal for this particular engine. Everything runs fine otherwise no issues. The engine has roughly 128000 miles on it. I read that is can be a number of different things.
What is the most common problem of a loud ticking while accelerating? My worst fear is that i would need a engine rebuild. But i am hoping the sounds are related to each other and can be fixed easily and inexpensively
