2004 Buick Rainier Belt Tensioners

This genuine Litens tensioner is manufactured and designed by Litens, the world’s largest manufacturer of belt tensioners. To address shortcomings and common failure points of the original tensioner, Litens has released this new and improved design. A 20% increase in tension results in less noise and belt slip. The main tensioner pivot has been greatly improved to prevent binding frequently experienced with the original part, and a high speed bearing has been implemented to provide long life and reliability.

Litens was the Original Equipment (O.E.) supplier of this G.M./SAAB/Hummer/Isuzu part for the aftermarket. This “O.E. Exact”* part for the aftermarket meets all original equipment form, fit, and function specifications. *(O.E. Exact – Original Equipment manufacturers prohibits the use of their part number or logo on parts sold to other customers. Therefore, the Litens aftermarket part may have minor cosmetic differences but still be exact in performance and design). Both the original and this aftermarket part use Litens patented “noose-ring” internal damping system not available in aftermarket tensioners from other suppliers. The tensioner is designed with a square lift feature molded into the arm to assist in belt replacement as well as a belt stretch indicator. Choosing The Correct Replacement Part: Both the original equipment and Litens aftermarket tensioner use a round spring versus a flat spring and are marked “Made in Canada”. Litens is the world’s largest supplier of original equipment (O.E.) power transmission products. At Litens, we design systems that are more efficient, resulting in tangible fuel economy/emissions benefits.

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
