Quality belt tensioner, easy intall, fits and works perfectly - 2003 F350 with the 6.8L V10 engine.
Quality belt tensioner, easy intall, fits and works perfectly on my 2003 F350 with the 6.8L V10 engine. See photos for comparison between this Gates automatic belt tensioner and the original Ford belt tensioner (original Ford tensioner is the one on the right in both photos).

Looks exactly like OEM, installs easily, works perfectly
OEM quality for a lot less. It is recommended to replace the belt drive tensioner when you replace the belt. I couldn't tell the difference between this and the original Motorcraft. It's probably made by the same supplier. Buy this and save.

Good value
Had to do the usual rebuild on ford 3 valve. Tensioner had a slight rough sound. Great price for a name brand I trust, fit and functional like Oem

Easy install on my 2004 F150 5.4L
Battery was having trouble charging, and with a brand new alternator, 1yr old battery and brand new belt, it had to be the tensioner not having enough tension. I purchased this (all-metal) tensioner in hopes it would fix my problem, and it sure did! I even included before/after pics of what my Edge CS programmer was pulling up on my battery voltage! Thanks Gates for another great product! I highly recommend it!
