RaMoN_88_SS Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I have a tvs1900 on my ss...I need a new tensioner because mine has slight play on the pulley..I want a heavy duty one but all I find are heavy duty 8 rib and id like to stay with 6 rib....I tried looking but I gave up after an hour...thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahoBLKss Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) you can run the 8 rib with your 6 rib set up i did this for a long time it wont hurt anything, plus i dont think i ever seen a 6 rib hd tensioner myself.

RaMoN_88_SS Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I also read somewhere that the magnacharger hd tensioner is just a gates tensioner in a different box...anyone know if this is true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevolutionRaceWorks Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I would have to be certain but If I remember right last time we ordered one here at the shop it's still a gates tensioner yes.. but they put an adapter plate and use a different pulley It's original application is from a duramax.

idahoBLKss Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 yeah its a gate tensioner , but you will need to buy a mounting bracket cause it wont mount straight up with stock tensioner . there was a guy making the bracket on performancetrucks.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
