Gates Engine Timing Belt Tensioner P/N:T41005
Gates Engine Timing Belt Tensioner P/N:T41005
$74.99

Keep every tooth of your timing belt tracking true with the Gates PowerGrip Premium Timing Belt Tensioner (P/N T41005) — the component that holds correct belt tension so a Gates carbon drive belt system runs quiet and stays in time. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a long list of applications, including the 1979-1993 Ford Mustang, 1983-2001 Ford Ranger, 1986-1987 Ford Aerostar, 1994-1997 Mazda B2300, and 1985-1989 Merkur XR4Ti; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of Ford, Mazda, Mercury and Merkur vehicles.

  • OE-quality fit and performance: engineered and tested to increase belt life, maintain optimal tension, and eliminate the need for a separate tensioning operation during installation.
  • Premium bearings: meet or exceed OE standards.
  • Contamination resistance: metal components are protected with a composite sealant.
  • Efficient operation: built with high strength, low weight, and quiet running for smooth system operation.

When a timing belt tensioner's bearing wears, you may hear a whine or rattle from the timing cover or notice the belt losing proper tension — signs this part may need replacing. Installing the tensioner along with the timing belt during a scheduled belt service helps keep the new belt correctly loaded from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Gates T41005?

It's a PowerGrip Premium timing belt tensioner that maintains correct tension on the engine's timing belt, helping keep it in sync while running quietly.

What vehicles does the T41005 fit?

What are signs my timing belt tensioner needs replacing?

A worn bearing may whine or rattle near the timing cover, or the belt may lose proper tension. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other components can produce similar symptoms.

Should I replace the timing belt too?

Best practice is to install a new timing belt whenever you replace the tensioner during a scheduled belt service, so the new belt is correctly tensioned from the start.

Does it need adjustment during installation?

Gates designs this tensioner to eliminate the need for a separate tensioning operation during installation. Follow the vehicle's service procedure for the exact steps.
