Review on Gates 39053 Belt Tensioner by Bob Moonin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The default voltage is wrong

I bought a '07 Patriot for my Jeep. Multiple cross references to part numbers on several different websites/books. This is the right part. When I put it on it was not possible to put the belt on all the pulleys and this tensioner. It looks like the preset was not created correctly. I was very hot when I realized I had spent all this time pulling the old one out. It gets 2 stars because at least Amazon sends it back with no problems. The part looks identical, but at least mine was done wrong. Be careful when purchasing this item.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Some flaws
