Gates Engine Timing Belt Tensioner P/N:T43039
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.
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.
