    Roush Tensioner

    Anyone using the Roush Tensioner with a Eaton swap or Trilogy? If so does it fit behind the water overflow tank? Its a lot thicker so I just wanted to make sure before I order one. Doing a pulley, belt, and tensioner over haul on the car.

    I ran one for years on my old Trilogy. It fits against the degass reservoir with little room left.

    The reservoir will have to be unbolted to install the tensioner.

    Last I looked they were hard to find

    If we are talking about the same 8 rib tensioner then AmericanMuscle.com and Summit Racing has them for $133.99

    Been looking at this too, best price I've seen. Do you have to swap over the pulley from the tensioner that came with the trilogy? Either way I'll buy a new one none the less...The purpose is preventative maintenance. Im using a 3.0 upper/4lb lower I use Gates belt K080525HD. Did you have to grind a lil material off your accessories tensioner to get it to not touch the 4lb lower? Mine had to be.....

    Does it come with the correct pulley for the Trilogy and Eaton swap?

    I'll prefer the UPR Tensioner but if not available the Roush it is and the Metco 90mm double bearing pulley.

    Been out of stock for more than a year now Nate. I looked high and low for the UPR for my new build and couldn't find any.
    Got tired of looking and bought the Thump RRR
