## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit on my 03 Yukon
*by P***R on May 26, 2025*

Perfect fit on my 03 Yukon

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy customer
*by A***N on November 4, 2023*

I purchased this for my Chevy Tahoe when my serpentine belt broke and melted, effectively destroying my factory tensioner. This is every bit as good as the factory part and my son had this and the new belt on in 10-15 minutes. I drive daily for work, and this has given me absolutely no problems for the last few months since it was installed. This is a fair price for a solid, quality part that you can likely install yourself. Very pleased.
