Gates 39053 Belt Tensioner Review

The Gates belt tensioner is an excellent choice for those looking for reliable and durable solutions for their car’s engine. As a result of my tests, I determined that this tensioner ensures a smooth and quiet engine performance, ensuring less wear and tear on the belt and pulleys. The installation is quick and easy, and its compact size saves space. My only con to note is that the price may be higher than some competitor options. Overall, I would highly recommend this tensioner for its quality

It was only 500 miles before the pulley fell apart and I had to buy another one. I assume it was a defective part, didn't have time to wait for the part again so I bought a new one locally.

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
