Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Gates 38323 DriveAlign: The Ultimate Automatic Belt Drive Tensioner by Dennis Reed

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Can anyone tell me where I can buy a reliable belt tensioner?

This one drove a Dodge 5.7 Hemi, the second replacement in 2 months. What chokes me is that the belt tension seems normal (a bit tight, not excessive) and the belt runs cleanly on all pulleys, but we're already starting to squeak the tensioner. Help! By the way, we don't race and our engine is just a slightly modified powerplant (soft camshaft, intake, exhaust, spools, TB mods).

Pros
  • Engines and engine parts
Cons
  • Not trendy
