Gates OE + Tensioner = True Heavy-Duty Performance
Real world tested on Detroit Diesel Series Engines, the DriveAlign™ tensioner boasts true heavy duty performance up to 550,000 kilometres. This advanced, drop-in ready solution will save both downtime and money.
When Detroit Diesel found that their 13 and 15 litre engines were showing premature OE tensioner failure, Gates created a custom solution.
Gates DriveAlign™ Heavy-Duty Tensioner (part number 38667) is designed to replace both the OE tensioners on DD13 and DD15 engines. This is an advanced, OE replacement Heavy-Duty Tensioner applied to Freightliner Cascadia, Coronado and more.
The Gates DriveAlign™ Heavy-Duty Tensioner was trialled and tested by having it fitted to a high kilometre fleet. After the vehicles had done more than 400,000kms the tensioner was removed and inspected; results showed excellent durability and reliability.
