That's for a Ford F150, by the way.
On an 08 5, I used these parts. I don't think it'll work on any of the 4 valve tritons.
On a 2008 Ford F150 5, it worked perfectly. 4 3 valves with air conditioning

This kit has left a lasting impression on me. There was no plastic in any of the parts. My Ford F150, model year 2008, with a 5. 4 Triton sounded as if it had been taken over by demons. When the engine was cold, no matter what the outside temperature was, it would howl and whine/whistle. Even in 100°F temperatures, it would start up whining like a banshee. I determined that it was either the belt tensioner pulley or one of the idler pulleys after doing some research. When the bearings started to wear out and made that whining noise, I figured I'd just replace them all, including the belt, and be done with it for a while. Everything I needed was included in this kit. I took about an hour to complete the job because all of the parts fit perfectly. Despite my careful study of the serpentine belt diagram, I had to fiddle with the belt a few times before getting it right. There are no more demons in my truck now! After all was said and done, the belt tensioner pulley was found to be the culprit. The other three pulleys (2 smooth, 1 ribbed) were fine and spun freely, but why go to all that trouble to do it all over again in six months or a year? For a hundred dollars, I'll take the peace of mind.
Only a small portion of the product is manufactured in Canada. I bought it after reading other reviews that said it was all made in Canada. The box, on the other hand, clearly stated that it was manufactured in Mexico. Although some of the pulleys were made in Canada, the majority of it, including the belt and belt tentioner, was made in Mexico. That said, everything seemed to be of reasonable quality, and it solved my problem. I'm glad I went ahead and purchased the kit. I assumed it was just one of the pulleys that had failed. It turned out that they were all on their way out, with one being significantly worse than the others; if you're going to replace one pulley, you might as well replace them all.
This part was designed to fit a Ford F150 5 from 2008. 43V . This item is made in Canada. It's the closest thing to American-made you'll find. It appears to be of excellent quality.
I'm not sure why, but Amazon claims that this will not fit in my truck. I double-checked on other websites to make sure it would work. I purchased it, set it up, and it works perfectly. Parts were compared to OEM parts and were found to be identical.
4 V8. it was a success There are no issues with the parts because they are clean.
All drive belt and pulley parts were included, with the exception of new bolts, which were not required. Outstanding worth.
Everything is working perfectly after being installed and running for over a month.
The replacement parts are of higher quality than the ones I salvaged.
