Review on Dorman 419 111 Chevrolet Automatic Tensioner by Ken Vargas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

PERFECT A replacement part that is as good, if not better, than the original.

I have a 2002 Sunfire (2.2) and have had this horrible right turn noise for almost a year. By visiting the "pros" and paying a small fortune for their opinion. With no real result, I finally decided that what it made noise would end up failing; it was like this. The accident was so dramatic that parts fell out from under the car (see photo). Luckily it broke in the driveway so I didn't have to pay for towing. Knowing what the mistake was, I started with local chain stores and couldn't pay $100 or more for that part. As a member of Prime and desperate for a role, I beat Revane. I was shocked at the price difference, I figured it can't be that cheap and still work. Well it came and is now installed, driven over 100 miles and the car runs great! The item seems very well made, well packaged and I am very happy to have it. When you order it, please order a new strap for it! The thing is strong! (as durable as OEM) so if you don't have a wrench, get one. You can't handle this thing with a broomstick or a crowbar. TOOL received. Note that I am not a mechanic. I'm a computer engineer and was able to do this. So take your time and watch some videos. Make sure you have the basic tools. AND ACT!

Pros
  • Motor parts
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
