Bad belt tensioner.

The belt tensioner was supposed to keep the belt moving, but it moved and made noise right from the start. I replaced it with an Advance Auto Dayco 89241 automatic belt tensioner and that fixed the problem.

Pros
  • GM recommended replacement part for your GM vehicle's original factory component
Cons
  • Empty

Good part is still the best among engine parts

Works great, accurate part for 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6 with 3.5 liter engine. but unfortunately it is dead after 2 years and 30,000 km. The bearings in the pulley are fine but it has lost tension. The visible part number is the same but the back says Litens is made in Canada.

Pros
  • Offers quality, reliability and durability GM OE
Cons
  • Little things

Broken after 3,000 km

----(updated 03/2021) Tensioner broke after 3,000 km! --------WATCH MY VIDEO! Cannot replace as Revain warranty has expired. I will no longer buy car parts from Revain! Complete set original. This is the same as my Equinox 2006 LT. Pay a little more and get what you want. The Litens brand is made in Canada. I replaced it with 100,000. Let's see how long it lasts.

Pros
  • Helps to keep the drive belt at the correct tension to ensure proper operation
Cons
  • Gotcha

Best Parts OEM

Exact replacement for the 03 Malibu LS squeaky original. The original shook like crazy and my car sounded like the car from Uncle Buck. Would have given 5 stars but this part shook more than I thought after installation. The vibration I noticed has since stopped, but I'll be checking this unit regularly to make sure it's not a sign of early failure. Always choose OEM for components like this, the only difference between what arrived and the original I removed was the "Made in Canada" sticker…

Pros
  • Manufactured to GM OE specification for fit, form and function
Cons
  • Strap
