Gates 88-95 Chevrolet C & K Series Pickup V-8 5.7L Tensioner Assy. Belt Drive Tensioner

This is the Gates belt drive tensioner assembly, part number 38108. It's designed to keep the accessory drive belt on your 1988-1995 Chevrolet or GMC truck with a 5.7L V8 engine properly tightened. A worn-out tensioner can lead to a noisy belt, poor accessory performance, or even belt slippage, so replacing it is key to keeping your engine running smoothly.

Gates makes reliable parts, and this tensioner assembly is built to handle the constant flexing and heat of the engine bay. It's a direct replacement for your original part, meaning it should fit right into place without any fabrication. Keeping the belt at the correct tension ensures that your alternator, power steering pump, and other accessories are all getting the power they need to function correctly.

When you're replacing your belt, it's often a good idea to swap out the tensioner at the same time, especially if it's showing signs of age or wear. This assembly fits a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks, including popular models like the C1500, K1500 Suburban, and GMC Jimmy, among many others.
