    Gates OE + Tensioner = True Heavy-Duty Performance

    Real world tested on Detroit Diesel Series Engines, the DriveAlign™ tensioner boasts true heavy duty performance up to 550,000 kilometres. This advanced, drop-in ready solution will save both downtime and money.

    When Detroit Diesel found that their 13 and 15 litre engines were showing premature OE tensioner failure, Gates created a custom solution.

    Gates DriveAlign™ Heavy-Duty Tensioner (part number 38667) is designed to replace both the OE tensioners on DD13 and DD15 engines. This is an advanced, OE replacement Heavy-Duty Tensioner applied to Freightliner Cascadia, Coronado and more.

    The Gates DriveAlign™ Heavy-Duty Tensioner was trialled and tested by having it fitted to a high kilometre fleet. After the vehicles had done more than 400,000kms the tensioner was removed and inspected; results showed excellent durability and reliability.

    Tensioner Design:
    The unique design of the 38667 tensioner combines the fan and accessory belt drive tensioners on a common bracket.
    Advantages of Gates 38667 tensioner over the OE:

    • Larger pivot bushing –Prolongs tensioner life
    • Longer tensioner arm – Reduces pivot bushing wear
    • Balance of loads – Ensures proper alignment of the tensioner
    • Double row pulley bearings – Proven to last longer than other bearings
    • Higher damping – Reduces arm movement
    • Easier to install
