Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

After replacing the old belt and excessively vibrating tensioner, the annoying squeal is blissfully gone. Much quieter and smoother now. No noise from the new bearing. Been running smoothly for several months now.

L 2005 chevy. Yukon, 47,000 miles. Perfect fit for 2007 escalade. Was a direct replacement for my 2001 tahoe 5.

Hopefully it lasts as long as the original part.

No issues-matches previous aftermarket tensioner in quality-seems decent. Gates is an oem supplier for many manufacturers for a reason. As good as oem.

Cons

I'd rather have a pulley that's going to last, not wobble. Works but rattles and makes noises.
