What It Helps Address

  • Belt squeal caused by weak or inconsistent tension
  • Serpentine belt tracking issues from a worn pulley or tensioner arm
  • Accessory drive belt slippage under changing engine load
  • Noise from a failing automatic belt tensioner bearing
  • Premature belt wear related to poor tension control

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, compare the pulley diameter, width, bearing bore, and mounting style to the original unit. Inspect the belt, idlers, and adjacent accessory drive components for wear, since a new tensioner works best with a belt in good condition. Confirm vehicle-specific application details before ordering; this Gates 38507 tensioner is commonly searched for by owners servicing compatible Ford, Chevrolet, and GMC applications.

Quality Assurance

Gates states that its FleetRunner heavy-duty automatic belt tensioner design is engineered to exceed demanding OEM requirements and has been tested under severe vibration and contamination conditions. In laboratory testing, the design lasted up to three times longer than competing aftermarket tensioners.
