Review on Gates DriveAlign 38158 Automatic Belt Tensioner by Nick Beck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Goes perfectly with my 05 Escalade

Arrived quickly, in like new condition. It looks just like the original. Be extra careful when tightening the screws as aluminum breaks very easily - this happened on the original. I used a chisel to turn the fan, which was key to keeping this project simple. Without doing this first, it wasn't easy to loosen things enough to get the strap in, but once I figured it out, it was easy. Has been working flawlessly for several months.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Empty
