A worn tensioner can show up as a rattle from the front of the engine or a timing warning light. These signs alone do not prove the tensioner is the problem; a stretched chain can sound the same. It makes sense to replace the left and right tensioners together; this listing is one tensioner, for the right side, and the left is ordered separately. During service, the chain, guides and sprockets are best replaced along with the tensioners.
Fits
It is also a direct-fit replacement for vehicles that include the 2011-2013 Ram 2500 V8 4.7L and the 2002-2010 Dodge Ram 1500 V8 4.7L. For any other vehicle, look up its year and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
