Well, to put a very long story short after all I did to find out the problem, the belt is too big and I will attempt to take it back, although I seriously doubt that they will take it because I'm in Florida right now and the auto parts stores down here are totally usless. I honestly think they would function better without anybody working there then having those useless people behind the counters. anyway, I ordered one from team ford parts, anyone ever get one from them? I can't imagine that they would send me the wrong one so this had better fit. That brings the total to $70 for a stupid belt!!! Oh well, can't do nothing about it so I guess I just have to bite the cost and move on. I'll keep ya guys updated on whether this one works out or not cause if it dosn't then the tensioner is bad I would assume. thanks for the help.
EDIT: Oh yea, if it makes a difference, it wasn't screaming I guess. Although it hurt my ears if my head was under the hood, a friend of mine said hers was screaming and you couldn't even compare the 2 as hers was so much louder. So apparently its jsut a loud squeak (my old belt would occasionally squeak when it rained, but it wasn't near this loud.)
