Product Details

The Gates 38397 DriveAlign automatic belt tensioner is engineered to maintain constant, precise tension on serpentine accessory drive belts throughout their service life. This OE-replacement tensioner features an application-specific design that meets original equipment requirements for reliable performance in demanding engine bay conditions.

Key Features:

  • 70mm outside diameter pulley with 31mm width for optimal belt contact
  • Durable steel construction resists wear and maintains structural integrity
  • DriveAlign technology ensures proper belt alignment and reduces vibration
  • Constant tension design compensates for belt stretch and wear over time
  • Direct OE-replacement fit for seamless installation
  • Backed by Gates lifetime limited warranty

This tensioner is sold individually and replaces worn or failed factory tensioners to restore proper belt operation and prevent accessory drive system noise, slippage, or failure.

Good prices.

Overall experience was great. I fit the radiator inside the truck and it worked like a charm on the hottest day in LA so far. Would definitely recommend people shop here.

Great price fast delivery

Love the free shipping

I'm very satisfied with the product and speedy delivery thanks.

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!

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!
