Review on Gates 38274 Belt Tensioner Assembly by Walter Day

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stop whining!

The belt tensioner on my 2006 F-150 definitely needed replacing as the whining noise from bad bearings was becoming unbearable. In general, the installation is simple, only 3 screws. Although I replaced the belt and a few other components at the same time, this was definitely the culprit. Now it's just wind and road noise while driving on the highway!

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Mostly OK, but...
