Wrong part/size or change of mind: a 20% return processing fee applies, plus applicable shipping costs.

Original shipping is non-refundable. For orders shipped free, the actual outbound shipping cost is deducted from the refund. Return shipping is prepaid by the customer.

After payment capture, cancellations and refunds generally incur a 5% processing fee, except for our error, confirmed defects or confirmed carrier loss. The 5% and 20% fees do not stack; only the greater applicable fee applies. Store credit waives the 5% fee, but applicable return fees remain.

For defective items, contact us for help with the manufacturer's warranty process. The manufacturer decides the claim.

Assembled device that applies load to the drive belt. (38578) by Gates

FleetRunner Heavy-Duty Automatic Belt Tensioners are the longest-lasting belt tensioners in the industry, engineered to exceed demanding OEM requirements. In laboratory tests under extreme peak-to-peak vibration and contamination tests, FleetRunner heavy-duty tensioners lasted up to 3X longer than competitive aftermarket tensioners.

  • Optimized components engineered for maximum strength and durability
  • Patented design provides superior belt alignment and tension for improved drive efficiency and life
  • Patented labyrinth seal prevents contamination of internal parts for maximum durability and service life
  • Long-lasting steel pulleys with dust shields to protect internal bearings from contamination
  • Double row bearings carry more load and last up to 3X longer than two individual bearings
  • Chrome-silicone round torsion spring for less âÆ© ¼Ã©ex-fatigue than âÆ© ¼Ã©at-spring designs
  • Patented damping mechanism provides maximum stability, reducing vibration and increasing the life of the belt, tensioner and other accessory drive components

Fits: 2003-1998 GMC, T7500, Caterpillar 3126 Diesel, Tensioner Assy.
