I put 2 thumbs up in a circle.

Simple screw-on. Thought my factory insert bearing had failed, but unfortunately there are still noises in the auxiliary drive. At least I have a spare now.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • No

Great product to buy.

The belt tensioner is OK, but the roller on it wobbles a bit. It works fine but I don't want to take it off and send it in for a replacement but the price is right and I would recommend this product to anyone.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Works fine on my 94 Yukon.

Replaced while chasing a creaking engine compartment, also fitted a new belt at the same time. I think the tensioner was bad as it was original and is my Yukon 94. Works fine and the squeak is gone. 5 stars so far

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Not the best

Very similar to an OEM part.

Looks like tension is good and I have the same pulley as pictured. As long as it lasts a while I have no complaints. The fit was excellent and it arrived in no time. I didn't bother with prices at local brick shops for parts that didn't seem better. I found online sellers to be more competitive in this part.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Appearance

Perfect replacement for my 1995 GMC Jimmy

Perfect replacement for my 1995 GMC Jimmy This tensioner is the type with no square adjustment hole. To adjust this tensioner, slide a socket wrench (the longer the better for easier adjustment) over the black bolt in the center of the pulley. Turn the key counterclockwise to loosen the tension and remove or reinstall the belt.

Pros
  • Very fast delivery
Cons
  • Fine

It fitted perfectly... and was very similar to OEM

It looked and felt like the original it replaced on my 1990 Chevy K2500 350 and it installed in about 10 minutes. I thought my belts were going to snap because of the idler pulley, but this particular assembly had a bad bearing that would seize up from time to time and cause the belt to overheat. I could have paid less for a Dorman unit, but at around $33 it was a good buy. I have been very happy with Gates products and this is no exception and it was delivered so I didn't have to put the old…

Pros
  • . Good product for the price
Cons
  • thin
