Serpentine Belt Tensioner

[bflood]

Just had to replace my serpentine belt tensioner at 124K miles. The belt was rubbing on the tensioner arm (constant pulsating squeal) because the arm was cocked due to axle shaft wear. Also the pulley wheel was worn and had lost it's "crown" profile.



Was very easy to replace. Cost $125:{

Also the new one has a 1/2" square tool socket instead of the original 3/8". Nice improvement.

Too Bad...

you didn't see my earlier post. I replaced my tensioner about 3 - 4 weeks ago and found the part at Auto Zone for $55. It was a Dayco like the one that came off the truck. The new one came with the 1/2' sq dr. Makes it much nicer to apply persuasion!
