Review on Dayco 89219 Belt Tensioner: Optimal Power Transmission Solution by Aaron Thawngzauk

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Solved a three year problem with an unrecoverable belt squeak

Once a year I sorted out the tensioner and belt. I have found this to be the tensioner that Cummins is selling for three times the price for my '97 Dodge Ram 3500. This tensioner along with the matching Dayco strap seems to have solved my problem. I think the spring in this tensioner is stronger and the whole thing was heavier for only $20. more than the other stretcher that seemed to be recommended most often. I think using a Dayco V-ribbed belt with this tensioner is a good idea too.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Will do
