Gates Engine Timing Belt Tensioner P/N:T41001
Gates Engine Timing Belt Tensioner P/N:T41001
$57.99

Keep the timing belt correctly tensioned with the Gates PowerGrip Premium Timing Belt Tensioner (P/N T41001), a core component in your Gates belt drive system and the ideal companion to a fresh Gates carbon drive belt during a timing service. It's a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1989-1994 Dodge Shadow, 1989-1995 Dodge Caravan, 1989-1995 Dodge Dakota, 1989-1994 Chrysler LeBaron and 1989-1995 Plymouth Voyager — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

  • OE-quality fit: Engineered with OE-quality or OE-exact fit and performance, and designed and tested to increase belt life, maintain optimal tension, and eliminate the need for a tensioning operation during installation.
  • Premium bearings: Bearings meet or exceed OE standards.
  • Contamination resistant: Metal components resist contamination with a composite sealant.
  • Quiet running: Built with high strength and low weight for quiet, efficient system operation.

The tensioner applies and holds the correct load on the timing belt so it stays properly tracked as the engine runs. Signs the original tensioner may need replacing include belt whine or rattle, loose or fluttering tension, and bearing noise near the timing cover. If a worn tensioner is the cause, replacing it during a timing belt job helps restore proper tension.

Does it fit my vehicle?

When should I replace the tensioner?

Signs it may need replacing include belt whine or rattle, loose or fluttering tension, and bearing noise near the timing cover. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Should I replace it with the timing belt?

Replacing the tensioner during a timing belt service is common best practice, since both parts wear together and are accessed at the same time.
