Continental Elite Belt Tensioner Assembly - Automatic Serpentine, Cummins ISX - 816.49563

Take the flutter out of the accessory drive with this Continental Elite automatic belt tensioner assembly distributed by FleetPro Parts & Tires. It is the complete tensioner that holds correct tension on the serpentine belt of a Cummins ISX accessory drive, and it is the part that quietly ends a belt's life long before the belt is actually worn out. A tensioner with a weak spring or a rough bearing causes belt flutter, squeal and premature belt wear - so the truck comes back for a second belt when what it actually needed was the tensioner. We stock these heavily right here in our Hanover Park, Illinois warehouse to ensure lightning-fast shipping for fleets, diesel repair shops, and owner-operators nationwide.

Correct Tension, Every Cycle: The Continental Elite Tensioner Advantage

An automatic tensioner has one job and it never stops doing it. The spring has to hold constant load on the belt while the arm swings through every load step the engine hands it, and the pulley bearing has to turn quietly through all of that for years. When the spring fatigues, tension sags and the belt flutters between pulleys. When the bearing goes rough, you hear it from the front of the engine and the belt starts wearing at the edge. Neither one is fixed by another new belt.

This is a complete assembly - spring, arm and pulley together - which is what makes it a real repair rather than a partial one. At 4 lbs it is a substantial heavy-duty unit rather than a light-vehicle part pressed into commercial service, and it ships in an 8.75 x 4.75 x 3.25 in carton that moves as an ordinary parcel.

At FleetPro Parts & Tires, we know the accessory drive is a system, so the smart repair is the tensioner and the belt together. Replace both while the front of the engine is open and the drive goes quiet as a set, instead of putting a fresh belt onto a tired tensioner and getting the same flutter and squeal back within a few thousand miles. This Continental Elite tensioner is stocked for Cummins ISX applications in International, Kenworth, Peterbilt and Volvo tractors.
