Its primary function is to maintain the proper tension in the timing belt. The timing belt connects the crankshaft and camshaft(s) of an engine, ensuring that the valves open and close in sync with the piston movement.  The tensioner applies pressure to the timing belt to keep it tight and prevent slack. This is essential for accurate timing and prevents the belt from skipping teeth on the pulleys.  Proper tension is critical to the longevity and performance of the timing belt. A well-functioning tensioner reduces the risk of belt failure, which can lead to serious engine damage.  It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for maintenance and replacement intervals for both the timing belt and the tensioner. Regular inspections and timely replacements can help prevent catastrophic engine failure and ensure the smooth operation of the engine's timing system.  Upgrade to Goodyear Timing Belt Tensioners for precise and reliable timing belt performance, backed by a trusted brand with a legacy of quality and innovation in automotive components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt with durable materials to withstand the rigors of engine operation and maintain tension over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineered to provide precise tensioning of the balance shaft belt, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimizes wear on the balance shaft belt and associated components, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProper tensioning of the balance shaft belt contributes to smoother engine operation, reduced vibration, and enhanced overall performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to match OE specifications, our tensioner provides a perfect fit and seamless integration with your engine, ensuring reliable performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eActivation Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eContact Surface Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrade Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOE Performance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePulley 1 Flanged\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePulley Quantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eApplication:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubmodel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1987\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRam 50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1988- 1989\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRam 50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1990- 1992\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRam 50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1987- 1989\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlymouth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1987\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMitsubishi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMighty Max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1988- 1989\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMitsubishi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMighty Max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1990- 1992\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMitsubishi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMighty Max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1987\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMitsubishi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1988- 1990\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMitsubishi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Good Year Belts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49757282992341,"sku":"23073-GYB","price":40.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2493\/0960\/files\/fits-1987-dodge-ram-50-goodyear-23073-engine-balance-shaft-belt-tensioner-modern-day-muffler-1.jpg?v=1738871781","url":"https:\/\/moderndaymuffler.com\/products\/fits-1987-dodge-ram-50-goodyear-23073-engine-balance-shaft-belt-tensioner","provider":"Modern Day Muffler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
