Accessory Drive Serpentine Belt Tensioner Assembly
Engineered Tension Control for 1987–1996 Ford V8 Trucks and Vans
Restore the reliability of your engine's accessory drive with this High-Performance Serpentine Belt Tensioner. Specifically designed for Ford’s legendary 5.0L (302) and 5.8L (351W) V8 engines, this assembly maintains the precise amount of tension required to keep your alternator, water pump, and A/C compressor running smoothly.
A failing tensioner is often the culprit behind annoying belt squeals, battery charging issues, or visible "belt flap" while the engine is idling. Constructed from a high-strength aluminum housing and equipped with a durable thermoplastic pulley, this unit is built to withstand the high-vibration environment of heavy-duty Ford trucks and Econoline vans.

Installation and Technical Tips
Belt Routing Diagram: Before loosening the old tensioner, ensure you have a clear understanding of the belt path. If the engine bay sticker is missing, take a digital photo for reference.
Bearing Inspection: While the belt is off, spin all other accessory pulleys (Alternator, Water Pump, Idler) by hand. They should spin freely without resistance or "crunchy" noises. A seized accessory pulley will cause even a brand-new tensioner to fail prematurely.
Clean the Mounting Surface: Ensure the mounting area on the engine block is free of rust and debris. This ensures the tensioner sits perfectly perpendicular to the belt path, preventing the belt from "walking" off the pulley.
Tension Release: Use a long-handled breaker bar or a dedicated tensioner tool on the pulley bolt to rotate the arm and release tension. Avoid using impact tools on the tensioner mounting bolt.
