The front-end accessory drive system on this vehicle has historically had problems with excessive noise and vibrations. As a fix to these issues, Litens (the world's largest supplier on Original Equipment belt tensioning products), offers this kit to fix the problem once and for all! The kit consists of a redesigned tensioner (replacing the hydraulic strut with a spring-loaded strut), a new decoupler type pulley (the original is a solid pulley) for the alternator, and a new Goodyear Gatorback serpentine belt. Note: The kit includes a warning label to notify mechanics that the original drive has been upgraded. 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. Litens holds over 2000 patents and continues to respond to the ever-changing automotive industry by investing heavily in new technology, facilities, and people. 90% of our line is made of products coming from the OE manufacturer, which makes the Litens Tensioning Products portfolio the purest OE tensioning line in the North American aftermarket.
