Thanks limejudge69. I have tried most of those over the past few weeks and they all go to a "part discontinued" response. It seems like all new parts were exhausted a year or two ago from what I've seen in forum posts. I have a redesigned tensioner on the car now that an LS4 enthusiast created. It seems to be working for now after some belt squealing issues initially.
I am, however also looking for an original. |

I loved when they shoehorned these V8 engines in the W-body platform, but MAN did they have to make a bunch of packaging compromises in order to do it. Quite a few one-off and less than efficient parts.
I ran a few nationwide searches using search tempest and came across a fair amount of LS4 cars being parted out. Targeting the tensioner specifically I only saw this one. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...tory_type=post I don't know the seller (or use facebook).

That's it. Not being a Facebook member, I did not find that one in a search. I don't see any way to contact the seller outside of Facebook. Thanks for finding it.
Update: A family member is going to contact the seller for me. Last edited by JimFB400HO; 06-19-2024 at 02:21 PM. |
