Review on πŸ”§ ACDelco Professional 38279 Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly + Pulley: Superior Performance and Reliability by Barry Hill

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not an ACDelco product. The tensioner says Litens and the box says ACDelco. Image is misleading

Installs, fits BUT product is advertised as ACDelco 38279 Professional Auto Belt Tensioner and Pulley Assembly but it is actually Litens Belt Tensioner Assembly written on tensioner material. It came in a white box labeled ACDelco, but it's not. The picture on the website is wrong. The bolt that attaches the tensioner to the engine bearing surface is shorter than the factory bolt. Also, the pulley is thin instead of wide like the OEM. The belt sits very close to the edge of the pulley that faces the engine wall. I hope it doesn't slip off the pulley, I installed it and am concerned. I would have to wait and see the hard way. At least made in Canada. I am not satisfied with the product. It seems to be of good quality but I don't know if this will happen when I drive.

Pros
  • All products are designed for professionals
Cons
  • Requires socket
