      Description

      Prevents Major Engine Damage. A property working tensioner keeps the timing chain in place. It maintains a precise and necessary tension on the timing chain, which surrounds the crankshaft sprocket and camshaft sprocket. It plays an important role as it has complete control over the chain, preventing it from crumbling and falling off the sprockets. This simple-looking component has a major job to do and a worn chain tensioner should be replaced as soon as possible.

      High-Quality Design. The Timing Chain Tensioner is made of aluminum and plastic. This construction makes it lightweight and durable. It also helps to absorb shock and vibration, which extends the life of the chain. The main body is made from aluminum for durability and is used for its high heat dissipation properties. The chain guide features a plastic construction that allows it to flex slightly as the chain rotates.

      Advanced Install. Although the actual timing chain tensioner is relatively easy to install, getting to it is not simple. In most cases, it is replaced along with the timing chain and gears. Therefore, it is extremely important that the timing is correct. Doing this will help prevent major engine damage from occurring. Professional installation is recommended. Overall, the installation process should take 2-3 hours.

      Tension Tool Included. One of the benefits that buying your primary Timing Chain Tensioner from American Trucks is that we include the special tool needed for retaining tension when installing. It may seem insignificant but some competitors make you buy it separately, which will add to the final price and causes delays if not purchased at the same time.

      Application. The Timing Chain Tensioner fits a variety of Chrystler with the 3.6L Pentastar engine including 2012-2024 3.6L Jeep Wrangler JK and JL. So if your truck matches the specifications mentioned, you’re good to go.

      One-Year Warranty. Each Timing Chain Tensioner is backed by a one-year warranty. This guarantee protects against defects in materials and workmanship. If the timing chain tensioner fails during the first year, it will be replaced free of charge.
