That's a good option but I prefer the pelican style case for 2 reasons. Not trying to deter you from your original option btw just giving you food for thought. The first is it makes them lockable and out of sight for sticky fingers. The 2nd is that when I have used mine it has been in mud...

Everything has been fine with mine since I got the new tensioner. I get an occasional leak at the hose connection of the water pump and I just haven't had the chance to pull the bumper and change the hose clamp. It seems to only be when it is cold out. I changed all the other clamps already as...

If I didn't have a scangauge I wouldn't ever have noticed my temps. Maybe I should get rid of the scangauge. Haha. When I drained the radiator of transmission fluid when I did the supercharger and new radiator, it didn't seem to be very much oil. I really am debating pulling the lines from...

I have debated running the fluid only through the tranny cooler instead of the radiator and tranny cooler. Not sure if it would make much of a difference though. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

So I put in the csf when I did my supercharger. I also added a tranny cooler with fan. I have a steel rear bumper with swingout. Roofrack. Fridge. Dual batteries. Winch with steel front. I have full aluminum skids. I am on 33s. I am in so cal and see 170s in the morning. The last week...

Would love to help but I am in socal. A tip I read somewhere and took full advantage of was removing the front 2 tires and bringing the car down as low as I could and put it on blocks right before the rotors touched the ground. It made the engine compartment work very easy on my legs and...

If you know your way around a vehicle and have patience it really isn't too bad. I did my own because of the same concerns you had. I had a hidden winch bumper, dual battery etc.. so I knew I would have issues with a mechanic doing it and having to relocate hoses. I am glad I did it because...

Awesome! Glad to hear it worked out. I am still vibration and noise free as well. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Maybe we are looking at this all wrong. Maybe I am the one who got the wrong tensioner? At least yours has a different part number now. Maybe it will be better. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

I will say when I inatalled mine the overall thickness of the tensioner was less. I dont know if uou can see it in the picture but the black arm for the hose support had to be bent a little so that I could get the bolt started. The tension was definitely more than the other one, I used the...

What the heck, I hope it works out for you. I wish I knew what tensioner I have then. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Mine was when in gear with ac running. Specifically in reverse. Here is a video of it. August 25, 2020 - YouTube Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

I would need to see the other side unfortunately. I did a search on Google with the part number you have there and this looks like it may be the other side which looks nothing like mine either. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

I could not find any markings on it at all before I installed it. Just the box it came in. Sent from my SM-N970U using Tapatalk

Yeah no problem, I have put about 1000 miles on it since the install. Install was a piece of cake. Uninstall belt with 1/2" breaker bar on the tensioner. I decided to keep the belt since it looked fine but it wouldn't be hard to install a new one if yours does not look good. I believe the...
