Anyone know were i might find a Dayco or A gates TENSIONER ASSEMBLY for my pile ?
i cant afford the dodge price and I imagine Cummins wont be much better

 

Try Cummins, you might be surprised at their prices. I recently purchased an exhaust clamp (for the exhaust elbow), and it was half the price that Dodge was charging. It also helps to have their power club member card. It is good for 10% off any parts purchase, unsure about labor.

 

You won't believe where I got my Dayco belt tensior...Canadian Tire..NAPA should also have them..

 

I dont have much love for Dayco, once you compare it to a Good yr, you will see the difference, Dayco has a plastic wheel that looks like its square, Good yr is a steel wheel, they are both around the 120-130$
I seen and replaced plastic wheels that wear on a taper and force the belt into the tensioner arm shredding the belt, if your near Edmonton you can try Wholesale Auto (780 423 4540) I'm sure they can get what ever brand you want





here is a 3rd gen wheel from a courior truck that has around 300,000kms on it. I think he got his moneys worth!!

 

you can buy just the wheel and bearing for them ,,, at napa i put one on my 75 last year ,,,

 

I have a spare one off of my truck,,, I am not sure if it would work or not, but if it does make me an offer
