Idler and Tensioner Pulleys Ram 6.7
I am servicing my truck by replacing the belt at 80K, but also want to replace the idler pulley and the tensioner in my 2013 6.7 Cummins Ram. The tensioner choices are Cummins part for $125, Or a Gate...

I do a lot of pre emotive maintenance too. Some of which seems silly to others.
80k is really early, but whatever. Your truck not mine.
Just don't use a gates belt or any other brand besides OEM or continental (used to be the Goodyear gator back belt). The rest are eventually, some sooner than others, squeaky, slipping mess.
Idk what it is, but get the right belt, or get some more practice changing it again.
And replacing the belt is a pain, but much easier if you take the tensioner off and replace it after the belt is reinstalled
