Belts and idler pulley

[Sgtmeatsauce1]

I have some crazy sounds coming from the SHO. I have a 2013 +pp SHO with 70,000 miles. At idle all seems ok, but at 30 mph I hear birds chirping, a slight whistle sound and a vibration like noise. I checked the belt I can see, it is indeed cracked, oddly length wise and is Shiney as polished steel. I can push the belt down easily with my finger. ZSHO sent me a Rockauto link for tensioner but I found this kit where they throw in the belts for like 10 bucks. The kit is GATES ACK060448K2, it contains the idler pulley n 2 belts.
Gates KB4056892 which circumference is 36.25 inches.
Gates K060448 which circumference is 45.375 inches.
And the Gates idler pulley #38485
Can anyone confirm this is the correct parts needed?

I am pretty sure that the SHO's only have one belt. The other Taurus trim levels have two. I think the other is for the water pump? The KO60448 should be the belt you need. The other belt needs one of those special tools for install, since its a stretch fit belt. But you don't need that anyway.

In 2014 at least, the only engine in a Taurus that needs 2 drivebelts is the 2.0L Ecoboost engine (introduced in 2013 in the Taurus). The 3.5 and 3.5 Ecoboost both use only 1 drivebelt. The second belt for the 2.0 EB is used for the A/C compressor, the first runs the alternator and water pump pulley.

So just the idler pulley and the 448 belt? I can only see one belt, I think. Most sites list 2 but not differentiate which for turbo vs non turbo 3.5l.

Correct.

Still cheaper to just get the kit and give away the other belt...

Would this diagram be the same for a 2013?

2013 also only uses one drive belt for the 3.5L engine. I don't know about the part numbers.

The diagram is the same for 2010+ MYs
