FQRANBO Drive Belt Tensioner Kit for Ford/Lincoln 3.5L-3.7L V6 (2010–2019) — Aluminum Tensioner & EPDM Serpentine Belt

FQRANBO Drive Belt Tensioner Kit is a complete replacement assembly with tensioner and serpentine belt engineered to restore proper belt tension and reliable accessory drive operation on compatible Ford and Lincoln 3.5L/3.7L V6 engines.

If your vehicle shows belt squeal, accessory slip, or fluctuating belt tension, this kit provides the mechanical parts to return the serpentine drive to correct tension and alignment. Built with an aluminum/ABS tensioner and an EPDM serpentine belt, the kit is supplied to match OEM fitment numbers so installation replaces worn parts cleanly and reduces repeat failures.

Which vehicles and engines does this kit fit?

This kit is designed for a wide range of Ford and Lincoln models with 3.5L and 3.7L V6 engines produced in the 2010–2019 period. Always cross-check your vehicle year, engine size, and original part number before purchase.

• Ford Edge: 2015–2018 3.5L
• Ford Explorer: 2012–2018 3.5L
• Ford Flex: 2013–2019 3.5L
• Police Interceptor Sedan/Utility and Taurus variations: multiple 3.5L/3.7L years
• Lincoln MKS, MKT, MKX, MKZ models across listed years and engines

What factory part numbers does this FQRANBO replacement match?

The kit is manufactured to replace several common OEM tensioner and belt part numbers so it can be used where those originals are specified. This makes it straightforward to swap in without modifying mounting points or belt routing.

• Tensioner cross-references: 38485, BT4E6B209CC, 7T4E6B209EB/EC, 7T4Z6B209AA, 8T4E6B209AA
• Additional numbers: CY0115980A/C, 49450, 89603
• Serpentine belt references: 6PK1140, 7T4Z8620C, 8T4Z8620A

How does the kit improve drive performance and reduce noise?

Replacing a worn tensioner and belt eliminates slack, restores consistent belt tension and alignment, and reduces belt slip that causes squealing. The result is smoother accessory operation and reduced risk of belt jump or premature failure.

• Aluminum and ABS tensioner body for stable mounting and wear resistance
• EPDM composition belt for lasting elasticity and temperature resistance
• Correct tension reduces accessory load variations and noise
• Direct-fit design preserves factory belt routing and pulley geometry

What should I expect during installation and maintenance?

Installation is similar to typical serpentine belt replacements: release tension, remove the old belt and tensioner, install the new tensioner, route and tension the replacement belt, then verify alignment. Basic hand tools and a belt tensioner tool make the job straightforward for a competent DIYer or mechanic.

• Inspect pulleys and accessories for wear before reassembly
• Torque tensioner fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s spec
• Run the engine and visually confirm belt tracking and quiet operation
• Replace other worn drive components as needed to extend service life

Who is this for? This FQRANBO Drive Belt Tensioner Kit is aimed at owners, technicians and fleet managers of compatible Ford and Lincoln vehicles who need a reliable, direct-replacement tensioner assembly and serpentine belt for 3.5L and 3.7L V6 engines. It suits anyone restoring proper accessory drive function after belt squeal, loss of tension, or routine maintenance where OEM-equivalent parts are required. Always verify vehicle compatibility and part cross-reference numbers before ordering to ensure a correct fit.
