Faulty Tensioner Ruins Your Ride

This automotive product failed to perform as expected, causing significant issues with my car. While it initially seemed like a cost-effective solution, the 38113 Professional Automatic Tensioner proved to be ANYTHING but. The lone pro is that it is easy to install. The cons, however, far outweigh any perceived benefits. The product is not durable, breaks down easily, and fails to maintain the proper tension needed to keep a car running in top condition .Don't waste your time or money on this…

Pros
  • High quality and durable construction
Cons
  • Possibility of installation difficulties for inexperienced mechanics

Defective product best in Motorteile

Unfortunately the pulley bearing started to squeak after only 2 hours of use. I ordered the ACDelco version of this product and expected higher quality at a higher price. Unfortunately, no. It's a simple setup, so no big deal. But it still hurts to do it twice. As for some of the comments about the plastic pulley, I believe it was made to eliminate the famous "pulley ring" that has been appearing on these vans over time. I hated that ring and I hated that patch 10 years ago when I bought these…

Pros
  • Type of installation: Vehicle specific
Cons
  • Damaged
