Review on High-Quality Belt Tensioner Pulley Assembly for Jeep Grand Cherokee/Wagoneer & Dodge Ram 1500 - 1993-2001 - Direct Replacement with 38116 53010158AB by Mike Hernandez

This belt tensioner with pulley fitted easily into my trusty old truck. The exact model of my truck is a '98 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie SLT, 5.2L engine, 2WD. I was thinking of a "Gates" belt tensioner for almost double the price, but this one seems to be just as good as my OEM tensioner. All of the protrusions and holes were identical to the part I replaced. Installation was easy (move the strap! then a 15mm nut). The hardest part was finding my rotating ratchet and getting to that nut. If you're buying this for a squeaky belt, you might have a few options! but it is likely that this component is required. I replaced this and my idler pulley and am happy with my results. Also check the belt itself for problems. Good luck chasing that awful screeching noise that comes from some old Dodge trucks.
