Featuring a flanged Pulley 1 with six grooves, it ensures the belt remains securely in place during engine operation. The thermoplastic width of the pulley contributes to its resistance against heat and wear, extending the service life of the component. The grooved bore diameter and 3.54-inch mount hole diameter provide a precise fit, reducing the risk of misalignment or premature failure. Pulley 2 is non-flanged with a material thickness of 1.03 inches, balancing strength and flexibility. The pulley surface type, measured at 0.670, is engineered to maintain consistent belt contact, minimizing slippage and noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tensioner pulley is compatible with a range of Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, and Jeep models, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet C1500, C2500, C2500 Suburban, C3500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Mustang, Thunderbird, R20, R30, R2500, R2500 Suburban, R3500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGMC K2500, K2500 Suburban, K3500, G30, V30, V2500 Suburban, V3500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeep Cherokee, Comanche, TJ, Wagoneer, Wrangler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by Part Number 49016\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory drive belt slippage due to worn or damaged pulleys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise or squealing from improper belt tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremature belt wear caused by misaligned tensioner components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced accessory system performance from inconsistent belt tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFailure of original tensioner pulley leading to engine accessory malfunction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Continental 49016 accessory drive belt tensioner pulley, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris.
