This tensioner features an application-specific design that meets original equipment requirements for vibration resistance and proper belt alignment throughout the life of your engine's accessory drive system.

Key Features:

  • 76mm outside diameter pulley with 25mm width
  • Designed for 6-rib serpentine belts

Great site. I received my product quickly and it was the product I ordered.

Autoplicity has the best prices around! They were quick to email a confirmation of the order, shipment, and delivery. I was VERY impressed! I also received my order earlier than I thought, which is always a plus. Will definitely do business with them again! Thanks!

Prices are comparable to other retailers. And they have items in stock that others were saying it would take a month. Fast shipping and great communication. Thank

Best Price on the Net for K&N System for my 2012 HEMI RAM. My Order 18270 is shipping today and I can't wait to get it installed!

Best prices online! Ordered a JBA performance exhaust and Airaid intake system for my 06 F-150. Was hesitant at first because I never heard of them but ordering was a breeze and saved me over $100 total for two items compared to anywhere else. Had package at my door in about 24 hours and even selected normal UPS ground shipping. Very satisfied and will definitely return!

Quick shipping and good communication, thanks!
