Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Gates 38178 DriveAlign: The Ultimate Automatic Belt Drive Tensioner by Jared Gopalan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Seems like a good solid part.

Just installed an hour ago. Now the belt and tensioner on the Colorado isn't the easiest, that's for sure. It's just so tight in there. But that's not the fault of this detail. The Gates tensioner felt just as heavy and strong as the one I removed. And no, the pulley isn't plastic, at least not the ones I have. It was definitely metal. I'll update if anything notable comes up, but first impressions were good.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Some imperfections
