  • Description:

    This Genuine Mopar Belt Tensioner (5281996AB)

     is a precision-calibrated component designed to maintain the exact tension required for your engine's accessory drive system. As an authentic OEM replacement, it eliminates the guesswork and premature wear associated with generic tensioners, ensuring your alternator, water pump, and A/C compressor operate at peak efficiency.

    Why This Tensioner Sets You Apart

    • Engineered Preload Accuracy: Unlike aftermarket "universal" tensioners that often use generic spring rates, this Mopar unit is factory-spec for the 3.6L V6 eTorque engine. It delivers the exact hydraulic or spring-loaded pressure needed to prevent belt slip without overstressing sensitive pulley bearings.
    • Automatic Geometry Calibration: This tensioner features an internal damping mechanism that automatically compensates for belt stretch and thermal expansion. This prevents the "chirping" or squealing often found in cheaper alternatives that can't handle high-vibration environments.
    • Heavy-Duty Internal Bearings: Built with professional-grade internal bearings and a high-strength housing, this component is designed for an extended service life. It resists the internal binding and "cocking" that causes belt misalignment and catastrophic failure in unbranded parts.
    • Direct-Fit Implementation: As the official replacement for part #5281996AA, this assembly is a true "plug-and-play" solution. It utilizes the existing factory mounting points perfectly, ensuring your belt tracks straight from the moment of installation.
    • Nationwide Mopar Protection: Every unit is backed by a Mopar Limited Warranty, providing up to 24 months of coverage across a vast network of authorized dealers—a level of support third-party manufacturers simply cannot match.
  • Condition: New
  • Notes: Engines: 3.6l v6 24v vvt engine upg i w/bsg. 3.6L V6 24V VVT eTorque Engine Upg I.
  • Applications: Recon 4x4. Altitude 4x4. Black And Tan 4x4. Unlimited Willys Sport 4x4. 2-Door 4x4. 4-Door 4x4. 4-Door RHD.
