96 Serpentine Belt Tensioner

[MattHiggins]

Here's where I put in my standard warning to NOT EVER buy anything from factorychryslerparts.com because, well, they took my money and then ignored me for two months while not shipping me my stuff and I had to sic my bank on them to get my money back. I'd pay triple their price at the local dealer before I'd give them another chance.

Thanks for the tip

What did that puppy cost you at the dealer?

Ended up costing me $7.98 with CT sales tax

If you use anti-sieze, you won't get frozen threads.

That is really not bad given the fact that it just screws in and you can forget about it.

And yeah, antiseize is the name of the game on those.

ROTF!

Sad, but true.

I guess I should consider myself lucky. Just did a header replacement and my last step was to figure out how the tensioner worked and it didn't give me any problems. 205K miles in Ohio weather. I'm sure jeep karma will bite me somewhere else.
