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...

My update so far. My buddy and I started on the beast last night after work. Removed things in the way for belt and pully replacement. I bought this truck used from the dealer back in 2016. The belt had more life on it for sure, but the telling story was the tensioner pully. It was a Dayco. Now I know that is not an OEM part which tells me that it had been changed out early. I bought the truck with 36K on it, so at somepoint it was replaced. I am trying to determin why and I thought about recalls but nothing comes to mind. The water pump needed to be replaced through Dodge for the recall but I was the owner at that point and no pully or belt was replaced. In any case, the new pully which is made in Canada, is really a well designed and HD part, nowhere near like the Dayco. I am very pleased that I am replacing everything now for sure. We don't have the Idler pully off yet but the new part is HD as well from Canada.
