Detailed Product Description

The Cloyes 9-5454 engine timing chain tensioner is a non-adjustable, cast component designed to maintain proper tension on the timing chain in specific engine configurations. Its hydraulic/spring mechanism uses an activation pin to engage the tensioner, ensuring smooth and consistent chain movement. This tensioner is tailored for specific vehicle applications including Dodge Ram 1500, Jeep Commander, Dakota, Durango, Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Nitro, and Mitsubishi Raider models. The gray finish and compact dimensions (2.02" length, 2.10" width, 1.67" height) allow for precise fitment within the valve train assembly. Note that this part does not include a shoe or mounting bolts, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.
