Smooth operation for my opinion

This belt tensioner assembly worked like a charm on my car .The installation was easy and it has significantly reduced the noise vibrations in the engine. The tensioner keeps the belt tight to prevent any slippage. This has improved the performance of my engine and made driving more enjoyable. The ONLY downside is that it is slightly expensive. Overall, I highly recommend this product if you want a smooth operation in your automotive..

Pros
  • Easy to install and adjust
Cons
  • Pricier compared to other belt tensioner assemblies in the market

Using On LSA Best in Engine Parts

I have a 6 rib LSA supercharger pulley system on my 2005 Tahoe and also an aftermarket bracket system. Needless to say, superchargers like to slip your belt, which is not only noisy, but also causes the belt to heat up and slipping results in a loss of boost pressure. This tensioner, when used with the correct length belt and catch pulley, completely solves the slippage problem. I get 16 pounds of boost with the stock bottom pulley with this tensioner.

Pros
  • Timing Parts
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price
