Gates 08-97 Ford F Series Pickup V-6 4.2L Tensioner Assy. - Smooth Belt Drive Pulleys & Tensioners

Gates is a well-known name for dependable engine parts, and this serpentine belt tensioner assembly is no exception. If you're working on a Ford E-Series or F-Series truck equipped with the 4.2L V6 engine, this part is designed to keep your accessory drive system running smoothly. It's built to replace the original tensioner, ensuring your belts stay properly aligned and at the right tension for optimal performance of components like the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor.

This tensioner assembly is constructed to handle the constant movement and heat generated by the engine. It features a smooth belt drive pulley that helps reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter and more comfortable ride. The robust construction means it's built to last, providing consistent tension over its service life. This part is a direct replacement, meaning it's made to fit right into the existing mounting points on vehicles like the Ford F-150 (1997-2003, 2005-2008) or the Ford E-250 Econoline (1997-2002).
