Product Details

The Gates 38462 DriveAlign automatic belt tensioner is engineered to maintain optimal tension on your vehicle's serpentine accessory belt system. This OE replacement tensioner features application-specific design that delivers constant tension, superior vibration resistance, and precise belt alignment for reliable performance of engine-driven accessories including the air conditioning compressor.

  • Reduces belt noise and prevents premature belt failure
  • Backed by Gates limited lifetime warranty

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!

great shopping experience but from my online buying experience is that if you place an order of 200 or more shipping should be free but that's just my opinion

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!

First time using Autoplicity. Found some great pricing on their site. Plan on doing plenty of mods to my new truck and would definetley recommend them and would be using them again very soon.
