Inquiring Minds Want To Know:
My 2001 Chrysler Town & Country 3.8L belt tensioner appears to be failing, so I have started shopping for a new one. My problem is that almost all of the tensioner assemblies I can buy locally have plastic idler pulleys.
Can anyone tell me, based upon factual experience, which idler pulley is superior? Is a plastic idler pulley better or is steel the better/best choice?
