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
• Includes installation instructions

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. While the appearance is slightly different from the original equipment part, the Litens part meets, and in most cases exceeds, GM’s original form, fit, and function specifications. Note: This drive has experienced issues due to the A/C system. GM issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB #01139B/C) suggesting replacement of the A/C compressor to resolve belt jumps and flutter issues). Litens includes a Tech-Tip concerning this issue with the tensioner. Litens is the world’s largest supplier of original equipment (O.E.) power transmission products.
