GATES 38285 belt drive tensioner for the 2011-2023 Ram 2500 6-cylinder 6.7L and other vehicles holds the V-ribbed drive belt at consistent tension. It is built to rigid tolerances and specifications for OE fit, form and function.
Squealing from the belt area, a wobbling pulley or a fluttering belt can mean the tensioner is worn. A worn belt, a worn idler pulley or an accessory with a failing bearing can make similar noises too, so find the cause before you buy a replacement.
The 2011-2023 Ram 3500 6-cylinder 6.7L, the 2003-2009 Dodge Ram 2500 6-cylinder 5.9L and the 2007-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 6-cylinder 6.7L all take this tensioner, and so do many other vehicles. There is one tensioner per engine. If your truck is not named here, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
