Litens Automotive is the original equipment supplier of this tensioner for this General Motors application. The Litens replacement part meets all form, fit, and performance characteristics of the original equipment part (with the exception of not having the car manufacturer's logo or part number applied to the part). The Litens replacement part maintains the round wire spring, the internal damping components, and 1 plastic and 1 heavy duty steel pulley, as specified by the O.E. manufacturer. 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.

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.
• Note: G.M. issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) on this drive (Bulletin No. 08-06-01-009A) due to a chirping noise. The TSB recommended replacing the drive belt and the water pump pulley.
• Supercharger Application specific.
• Professional Mechanics will change this tensioner in about 1+ hours.
• Accessory drive belts and tensioners are manufactured with similar design life targets. Since belt removal is required to change the tensioner, replacing both will extend the system service life and lower labor costs versus individual replacement.
