1996 Chevrolet Caprice Belt Tensioners

Acc. Belt Tensioner

The Dayco automatic belt tensioner features Dayco’s original, patented flat spring design to provide less operating range variation. It reduces the risk of premature accessory bearing failure due to high tension and lessens the risk of belt noise and slippage – or poor performance caused by low tension. A PTFE string wound within the spring resists abrasion and dampens noise. Dayco’s tensioner is also designed with a heavy-duty cast aluminum spring case and arm, which helps resist cracking and fatigue and offers additional strength, lessening the risk of distortion. Additional premium thermoplastic rubber spring slot plugs and rubber O-ring seals help keep contaminants out and zinc coated mounting bolts resist rust.

Product Features:

• Endures the toughest conditions while promoting quieter performance and longer life
• Features a steel pivot tube on specific designs for enhanced stability
• Built to outperform and outlast competitive OE parts
• Rust resistant construction

Product Features:

• Manufactured by the original equipment part supplier to ensure proper form, fit and performance
• Internal “round spring” technology to provide constant belt tension and alignment throughout its service life. The internal damping design provides quiet, smooth, system performance.
• Installation instructions included.
• Heavy Duty Steel Pulley
• Professional Mechanics will change this tensioner in 20 minutes.
• Due to the fact that belts and tensioners have similar Original Equipment “design life targets”, it is often a best practice to replace the belt tensioner when replacing a worn or broken belt. Belt removal is required to change the tensioner. Therefore, d

Built to look and fit like the original GM part, ACDelco Professional Automotive Belt Tensioner and Pulleys are an ideal replacement for worn equipment.

Product Features:

Litens was the Original Equipment supplier (O.E.) of this part and offers this “O.E. Exact”* part for the aftermarket. This popular tensioner designed for General Motors vehicles, looks, fits, and performs like the original part being replaced. Unlike many Non-O.E. aftermarket tensioner suppliers, the Litens part maintains the original equipment steel pulley and internal damping feature for optimal performance and life. Installation Tip: Note the Litens aftermarket tensioner maintains the inset square wrench “lift feature” on the tensioner face to facilitate belt tension release during installation. This lift-feature makes installation easier on the assembly line or in the garage. *OE Exact – Original Equipment manufacturers prohibits the use of their part number or logo on parts sold to other customers. Therefore, the Litens integrated bolt/washer versus 2 separate components. Choosing The Correct Replacement Part: Both the original equipment and Litens aftermarket tensioner use a round spring versus a flat spring.
