Review on 🔧 Gates 38285 DriveAlign: Automatic Belt Drive Tensioner for Optimal Performance by Chris Floyd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Higher Quality Than OE ('06 Ram 2500 5.9L)

After 280,000 miles, the stock Dayco tensioner failed catastrophically. Received new Gates 38285 in less than 24 hours. Unbelievable the best product as other reviews claim! I was able to easily install the new belt after installing it first and tightening the bolt to specs (32 ft lbs). A NOTICE. The tensioner body is thicker than standard, so a longer bolt is included. Use it! Verdict: Very satisfied and happy I bought this instead of an aftermarket replacement from Cummins, OE Dayco or Dayco.

Pros
