Gates 93-07 Ford Taurus V-6 3.0L Tensioner Assy. Belt Drive Tensioner

This is a Gates belt tensioner assembly, part number 38114. It's designed to keep the accessory drive belt on your V-6 3.0L engine properly tightened. A well-functioning tensioner is crucial because it ensures your alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor all spin at the correct speed, even as the engine revs up and down. Without it, the belt could slip, leading to a loss of power to those accessories.

This tensioner assembly fits a range of vehicles, including many Ford Taurus models from 1993 to 2007, as well as Ford Rangers and Windstars, and even some Mazda B3000 trucks. Gates is a well-known name in belts and tensioners, and this part is built to meet the demands of keeping your accessory drive system running smoothly. It's a solid option for replacing a worn-out or noisy tensioner that might be causing squealing sounds or inconsistent accessory performance.
