jboyss Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Well i floored it when the light turned green, spun all 4 and then let off and the tensioner went bye bye. Fn POS you'd think they could have made it a little stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Thanks for the pics Joe! I have yet to do that I think I may go out and buy a spare now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtie70SS Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I'v broken one or three of those. They are kind of flimsy...I think Magna is asking way too much out of that Ford tensioner. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krambo Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I know it was posted on here before but what is the Dayco part #? I went to the parts store and they didn't have pics to order. I could have guessed but want to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtie70SS Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 tensioner part number = 89222 pulley for tensioner # = 89009 Don't forget that the pulley the tensioner comes with is not the right one, you have to buy the pulley too!!

The Breeze Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Can't you use the old pulley that you allready have. Ooops sorry I did'nt see that it got trashed also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 what about taking a couple of small strips of strong steel or aluminum and drilling a couple of small hoels, and mount them as a support type bracket? A few dollars to prevent some headaches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboyss Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 thanks for the help with the part numbers. I went out and bought two of them this time. I dont ever want to be towed for something so stupid again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I had to replace one of them once. I bought it for a 90 or so 454 truck which comes about perfect except the allen bolt on the back. With a drill and tap it was set and came with the correct pulley.

Krambo Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I went out and bought a spare. It was only $64 and it is a little different than the one I hav on there. The one I have on there now has a ribbed pulley whereas the new Dayco unit I bought has a smooth pulley. Joe, is the one you broke ribbed or smooth? The belt may have trouble hanging on to a smooth pulley during a quick blip letting the tensioner slam back causing the snap. Joe, If you have the broken one still, can I have it?

jboyss Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Kevin, When you buy the new tensioner you need to buy a new pulley as well. The one that comes on it doesnt work for us. There is a part number in this thread for it. I bought two of them when i went so i could have a spare as well. And yea i believe i still have the broken one if you want it. But why?
