Quality belt tensioner, easy intall, fits and works perfectly - 2003 F350 with the 6.8L V10 engine.
Quality belt tensioner, easy intall, fits and works perfectly on my 2003 F350 with the 6.8L V10 engine. See photos for comparison between this Gates automatic belt tensioner and the original Ford belt tensioner (original Ford tensioner is the one on the right in both photos).

Good value
Had to do the usual rebuild on ford 3 valve. Tensioner had a slight rough sound. Great price for a name brand I trust, fit and functional like Oem

Good quality, fit perfect.
Easy to install. Most difficult is getting your arms down there. Installed on 2005 F150 5.4. Good factory quality. Fit perfectly.
