Hi! Thanks for your posts. Because the noise was getting worse, we once again tried starting it without the belt and found that it WAS still making the squeaking noise WITHOUT the belt. Nice to know $200 later! So at that point, we finally gave up and took my car in to the dealer. I just got it back and a wonderful Ford mechanic (a childhood friend of my brother-in-law) fixed the problem. Turns out it was the Cam Shaft Synchronizer that was squeaking so badly. The guy gave us the old synchronizer and we could hear the squeak just by hand-turning it! The mechanic said he's only seen that happen one other time on a mustang. We would have NEVER figured that one out! Thanks for your posts. It purrs like a kitten once again!!! Yahoo!!!
