1993 7.3 idi Turbo w/ac, perfect fit!

This item was easy to replace. on the old one, the bushing was worn and the knot was sticking out, causing the edge of the v-ribbed belt to break. DO NOT wait to replace unless your tensioner moves straight!

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Some small things

Works very well with timing parts

Easy to apply, works very well. The pulley material is slightly thicker than the original. Fits my 1996 F-150 351 Cleveland. i like it ๐Ÿ˜Š

Pros
  • Round torsion spring ensures reliability and consistent tension.
Cons
  • Updates

Warranty only 12 months, 12,000 miles!

Mine has lasted almost 3 years and after maybe 5000 miles I am shocked that it has let me down. I thought Gates was a good brand, but now it's not. I had a 7.3 diesel, but that doesn't matter. Back to the engine part, as they are still built decently IMHO.

Pros
  • Patented labyrinth seal protects internal components to meet or exceed OE life expectancy.
Cons
  • zero

The auto parts dealers were wrong!

Exactly what I ordered. I went to my local parts stores (Advance, Autozone, etc.). They all offered a pulley that was three times the size! I put the OEM part number on the back of the pulley and Google sent me here. IT WAS RIGHT! 1995 Ford F-150 300ci Inline-Six THIS IS YOUR IDLER!

Pros
  • Manufactured using the same or improved technology and quality materials as a genuine OEM part resulting in factory conformity
Cons
  • Blank
