So after the third day. I hear another noise, sounds like a light tapping. I can’t pin point what it is right now. I guess I’ll have to wait till it gets a bit louder. *
Mine sounded like a light tapping and it got louder as time went on (but maxed out after a few weeks) and when the engine was fully heated and on hotter days.
When I first found the issue last September, I'm in AZ, it was loud and then subsided a bit in the Fall/Winter as Magnuson tried to troubleshoot.
When April and May rolled around it sounded like the front end was vibrating off. I was getting looks at stoplights from people, like bro, your truck is going o blow up, lol.

Just heard from Magnuson, they are sending me a new tensioner. They claimed there was quite a few that got sent out that were defective. This was mine.

Is it making any noise at all? Any vibrations when fully cranked with the A/C compressor kicks on?

Mine was when in gear with ac running. Specifically in reverse. Here is a video of it.

No. Nothing crazy but it has some vibration only when A/C clutch kicks in and last for 2-3 seconds. In gear or while driving nothing at all.

Wow! Just watched your video, really bad, mine don’t do nothing close to it. Glad you solved that problem!

What the heck, I hope it works out for you. I wish I knew what tensioner I have then.

Sent email to Magnuson pic of your tensioner was included. Trying to get logical explanation why people are getting different looking tensioner with the same part # . Hope they can clear that for us.

I got a response yesterday from Magnuson over my concern of the tensioner issue. I sent them pics of mine and they are sending me a new one. So it will be interesting to see which one I get.

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 same breaker bar on both and the new one was much harder to get the belt on.

Yes I have one on the way. I’ll keep you updated. I could probably give you a contact if you need one.

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.

this happened to me today too. I was freaking out because coolant was all over the place. What was the fix? If i put it close to one side itll be too close to the fan and if i put it the other side itll be hitting the belt.
