Tensioner has an ntn bearing. Not the greatest but it should be fine. the belt has no mfgr tag and is made in Slovenia :o this might be a problem.

No cheap.

Does that mean its a remanufactured reboxed remanufacture?

>>17210309
maybe. waiting for the $2/ea crank and cam seals to show up.

The no-name stuff on ebay makes me nervous

I bought a p/s belt off RA for something stupid like $0.78 for my Bronco, and it said something along the lines of
>for use in higher mileage vehicles that no longer require OEM performance

FWIW my service writer quit buying us GMB parts because we had to warranty them so often. This was especially true for water pumps.

I know what I'm doing is stupid but I just want to see first hand. I've always used oem and high quality aftermarket parts. Our 97 850 turbo is @ 214k on the original drivetrain and still makes boost. I'm the anon that bought a wrecked but clean title 50k mile 97 Chrysler Conkek LXi for $400 delivered, and I'm only going to maintain it with the cheapest parts on the market for science. I'll keep /o/ updated so you can have a laugh and we can find out what you can cheap on. Also what you need to spring for. Already got the Supertech fluids from Walmart.
