Cummins Replacement Belt Tensioner Assembly 89-02 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins
Description
Overview
The belt tensioner in your 5.9L Cummins is responsible for keeping constant tension on the belt to ensure vital engine components such as your water pump, alternator, and power steering pump are working properly. A failing belt tensioner can have a couple different symptoms. The tensioner can lose its tension allowing the belt to become loose and eventually ejecting itself or, the bearing can fail not allowing the pulley to spin causing a squeal noise from the engine bay. Replace your failed tensioner with a genuine Cummins Replacement Belt Tensioner Assembly. This tensioner is a direct replacement and uses the factory hardware for isntallation.

About Cummins
While we are obvious supporters of the aftermarket, there are times when it does make the most sense to stick with factory Cummins components for various upgrades or repairs. While we do not carry every component, we do stock items that we feel are a good choice when making the decision to go stock or aftermarket.
