On my 2nd I don't justify my hopes.

Bought this for my van about 6 months ago. After about 4 months it started ticking and creaking a lot and didn't hold the tension well. There is a replacement, let's see how this one goes. If there is a problem with it soon I will change my rating to 1 star.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • I have no bad feelings about it everything is fine

Fits a 2006 3.8 liter Dodge

It may look the same as the stock Mopar build but it will fit my 2006 3.8 liter Dodge Grand Caravan SXT and eliminates idle belt noise problems.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Didn't last for me.

Started making noise after using my car for 90 days. When it started making noise I thought there was something else wrong with my van, it couldn't be the tensioner because I had just replaced it right? After driving for a while I just replaced it with a Gates part which is only $10 more than this Dorman and now my car is quiet again. Gates 38185 is also easier to install as it is designed so you can insert a standard 1/2 inch ratchet between the tensioner and the guide frame to tighten the…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Vulgarity
