Belt Tensioner ?

[machinemover]

I had my belt tensioner bearing seaze a few weeks back. I tried replacing it with an after market tensioner but what they list in the books do not fit my truck. So I just bought the pully to get me by but the wheel rides about 1/4 inch off the belt and I am noticing belt wear. Is my alternitive spending $177 from DC for the right one or what ?

If the tensionor is made the same as mine, the bearings are replaceable. Or price around, I think you can do better. Check with Cummins, too.

How many miles on your truck?

I check a couple of dealers, even online. The Mopar replacement is $177, mopar isn't selleing the bearing and wheel by it's self. (gee what a surprise there) The after market is about $85, but the tit is on the wrong side, deffinatly the wrong one. I tried it a couple of times, now I took a picture of the right one on my phone so I know what I'm buying. My memory doesn't go that far to remember what side has the tit on it. Gettin old ,man. The problem with the replacement wheel I put on is I am noticing wear already, so I want to get the right one on there before I run into trouble again.
