describe your problem...I have a squeaking from one of my pullys. I have changed the belt idle pully and tension pully and still have the loud squeaking noise I think it might be the fan pully

This is a Ford engine and I have run across this before. It's likely not a pully at all and it's coming from the Camshaft sensor drive unit called the "synchronizer". Get a long screwdriver to the base and your ear and listen to it. Don't try to change this yourself without the proper tool as it has to be timed correctly and cannot be done without the tool once it has been moved.
