Worst Tensioner Ever

don`t waste your money on this tensioner. Based on my experience, it's a complete disaster... It constantly slips and needs frequent adjustments, making it a huge hassle to use. It's also very POORLY made, with cheap materials that don't hold up over time. Save yourself the frustration and spend a little extra on a better model..

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Constantly slips, poorly made

Gave me extra space compared to an OEM install

Was easy to install with instructions. When I first started the car there was no noise. Gave me more room than the factory tensioner that got in the way of my wastegate reset pipe. Things that might be helpful would be a small tube of blue caulk with product and perhaps a recommended belt tension adjustment. Neither was a problem for me, but maybe something will be added in the future. I haven't run it to 7000rpm yet, but I don't see any problems.

Pros
  • Compatible with GM LS series truck engines
Cons
  • Repair
