Recovering Jeep Owner –
I installed this to replace the aging tensioner on my 2005 Jeep TJ Wrangler. The unit itself is great so far, but BE CAREFUL removing the old tensioner. I didn’t know this, but the dowels can break off inside the holes of the generator mount if they are corroded. Use EVEN pressure when prying/removing the old tensioner. If you’re unlucky like me and have a dowel break off/get stuck inside a dowel hole, try to grab the remains of the dowel with a set of vise grips. If that doesn’t work, you can remove the generator and the generator mount from the engine block, drill a small hole on the other side of the “blind” dowel hole, and use a punch to tap out the remains of the dowel.
This is an extended description for what may be a specific problem, but I am sure it will help those of us trying to keep our TJs on the road.
Eat. Sleep. Jeep.

At 125k miles I decided to refresh a lot of parts on my Jeep 4.0 to get another 100k out of it. For the money this Idler pulley was a great value. Easy to replace once you remove the belt.

Looks the same and functions perfectly. Will it last? Who knows. It was fairly low cost, but like everything else these days, considerably more expensive that last purchase. Install was simple on my old 6 cylinder Jeep.

I drive a 2006 Jeep Wrangler with 4.0L engine. I have reached 85,000 miles and had already replaced the serpentine belt. I have read that it is also recommended I replace the idler pulley and automatic belt tensioner.
The Gates 38163 is almost completely identical to the original OEM Chrysler/Mopar part.
Here is my experience installing it.
Things you’ll need:
* 1/2in drive breaker bar
* 3/8in. drive ratchet wrench
* 3/8in. drive Torx T40 bit
* (optional) new small rubber grommet
* (optional) thread locking compound
First, it is a good idea to take a picture of your serpentine belt and how it winds around your engine and pulleys.. There is supposed to be a belt routing diagram on your radiator, but often this label is often damaged. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Depending on your tools, it may be easier to remove the fan shroud and clutch fan so they won’t get in the way. I won’t cover this here.
Insert the square part of your breaker bar tool into the square hole in the middle of the tensioner arm. You turn the breaker bar to tighten the arm spring and remove tension from the belt. While holding your breaker bar, carefully remove the belt from one of the pulleys – then carefully relax the arm. Remove your breaker bar. The tensioner arm (and serpentine belt) is now ready for removal.
Attach a high quality Torx T40 bit to your ratchet and carefully remove the bolt securing your old tensioner arm to your engine. Take care not to strip the head as you loosen the bolt! You will reuse this bolt on your new belt tensioner.
Once you’ve released your old tensioner arm, do not remove the bolt from tensioner arm yet. Carefully examine the threaded side on your bolt – there is supposed to be a small rubber grommet (or “O-ring”) on the threaded side hugging the bolt. Many guides online do not mention this rubber ring! I am not entirely sure what the purpose of this rubber ring is, but I suspect it is used to dampen the vibration between the tensioner arm and engine and/or to help keep the bolt in place. If this small rubber grommet is missing or damaged, you could use a small O-ring seal normally used in plumbing like kitchen and bathroom sinks. An assorted size pack of O-rings is common and inexpensive. If you still have the original rubber grommet in good condition, carefully separate the rubber grommet from the bolt. Once separated, you may now remove the bolt from the tensioner arm.
After removal, while examining my original belt tensioner I was able to spin the pulley very freely with my hand – this means that the bearings no longer had sufficient grease to lubricate them. With the brand new pulley, the pulley turns easily as I use my hand, but I could not spin it. This means my new Gates belt tensioner’s bearings are well greased for the job.
Reinstall bolt into your new Gates tensioner arm. Lightly lubricate the small rubber ring and carefully slide as far as you can into threaded end of bolt. If you want, you may now apply thread locking compound at this point (I didn’t feel it was necessary). Attach new Gates tensioner arm to your engine, hand tighten Torx bolt, then use ratchet to finish tightening it. You do not need to use a lot of force to tighten it, just tighten to reasonable amount. I found some sites with a torque specification but I found this to be much tighter than original, so I didn’t trust this – I recommend to just tighten to reasonable amount you can do with your single arm alone with ratchet. Don’t put your weight on it! You never want a broken bolt stuck in your engine! Also careful not to strip the Torx head!
Once your new Gates tensioner arm is bolted back on, reinsert the breaker bar and wrap the serpentine belt back onto all the pulleys. You remembered to take a picture, right? Refer to your photo or belt routing diagram on your radiator. One hint is that the grooved side of the belt will only ride on grooved pulleys and conversely the smooth side of the belt will only ride along smooth pulleys. Release the arm, remove your breaker bar, examine everything – and you should be done.
In case you stripped your T40 bolt or need a new belt routing diagram sticker, below are the parts you can get from your dealer:
6507743AA – belt tensioner T40 bolt
53031700AB – belt routing diagram sticker for 4.0L
It’s much easier than I made it sound. But do the job right! I hope this review helps others! 🙂

For nearly a year, I tolerated a whistle coming from my Jeep Grand cherokee. Mechanics, experts online, and everyone I talked to had a different guess at what was causing the noise. But it was quite embarrassing to start my car and have it whistle loud enough to be heard 2 to 3 houses away. Following the simple instructions and with the proper tool, completed this replacement in ten minutes. Not a peep out of my Jeep since then. Yay!

Used this when swapping in a new fan belt i. my son’s 2006 Jeep LJ. This fit just like the one it replaced.
