Detailed Description

Gates part number 36934 is a DriveAlign Premium OE Pulley designed to match original equipment fit and function in accessory drive belt systems. The steel construction, smooth pulley surface, and OE-exact grade support consistent belt tracking in applications that use an idler pulley, tensioner pulley, or locked center tensioning pulley. This part number 36934 is used across select Ford and Lincoln platforms, including Ford Explorer, Ford F-150, Ford Police Interceptor Utility, Ford Ranger, Ford Bronco, and Lincoln Aviator applications.

The DriveAlign Premium OE Pulley line focuses on OE-style replacement geometry and application-specific fitment.

Installation Notes

Verify pulley position, belt routing, and bearing bore dimensions before installation.
