advance has em in stock. walk in price is under 40 bux. you dont want to cheap out and get a used belt tensioner. not saying Jays will be trash. but like any spring over time loses its tension and wen that happen you can haze the belt at high rpm. especially around the power steering pulley.

Quote for truth my tensioner was junk with only 50k on it OEM. Its not the mileage as much as the amount of time that it has been in a compressive state, which was about 16 years... lol.

New one from Advance and never had a belt screach again. :klab:

jayws6 04-10-2012 02:22 PM

I did say a new one would be better only 38 $ :happy:

KLAB 04-10-2012 02:26 PM

Tensioner $37.78
Belt $22

Not ripping through belts and no screach at WOT shifts, priceless.

Do you work today?

black heartbeat 04-11-2012 06:09 PM

I don't work today, I work tomorrow, but it would be easiest if I got it at work with my own discount and then simply gave you the belt tensioner outside of work. If you want I can pick it up tomorrow

As I said, if it was not for someone else's advise, I would have gone a different direction. The best advise I can give you is hear others opinions but listen to your heart 50% of the time, your head 40% and leave the other 10% to chance. Take what they say, heed the warnings and incorporate opening doors and ideas into your path. Others have come before you and want to protect you against duplicating mistakes, others do not want you to succeed simple because they are restrictive, jealous or scared. Most of the damaging pressures that create lack of change are by close friends or loved ones that do not know a path themselves or are unaware they are subliminally creating these road blocks. For me it was my Mother, loved her then and love her today. But she only know one way of life and that is what she tried to instill in me. Unfortunately that was a life of poverty. I did not take the road less traveled, I blazed my own trail and boy am I glad I did.

Set those goals, learn from others experiences and learn the difference between constructive and destructive criticism. Be true to yourself, remember it is better to be disliked for who you are, than to be liked for who your not.

Like said, I'm the old man around here. I do speak from experience as I have been on both sides of the dollar bill.
