IS a new tensioner included in this kit? If not, should you also buy that separately for this job?

No tensioner is included. Mine was fine and didn't feel the need to replace it. Also the bypass gasket is not included. No local auto parts stores had them in stock so I made one from some gasket material

I don't know what tension bars are. The hitch works well just as it arrived. I didn't need to buy anything in addition to it.

CJ, I'm not sure exactly what the 'dog spring kit' is. This is what is included, everything that is held on with the two attaching machine screws. In other words, the housing, the pulleys, the pull string, the pull handle, and the springs. I quite literally unscrewed the two machine screws, removed the entire assembly, put the new assembly in place and re-installed the two machine screws. Done! That's it! Took all of 5 minutes and all was good with my string trimmer again. I don't know how much easier it can get. Today is 17 July and it is still going strong. Having priced all the parts individually at my local big box store I can honestly say this IS the best deal going. I may even keep one on hand as a spare.

Yes, they do come with the tensioners, they work well as long as you have a little straight away for them to adjust themselves. I've used mine to get out of an icy mess, but the tensioners popped off. They cables stayed on long enough to unstick the truck, and get up the solid ice driveway.

Yes it comes with it I belive but my advise is for u to go with 4 gauge kit

This kit has the "later" style tensioner (Gates P/N T43138) - same one used on the newer SOHC EJ25.

I did have the tension adjuster go bad on me too, and I purchased a new assembly because the threads were gone. The new assembly has a slightly better design and has far outlasted the first one.

As for me, all the fittings where standard and included in the box I opened. All I had to use was an adjustable wrench ( monkey wrench) to tighten all the firing down to my existing equipment. It was incredibly easy for me, though I'm a little mechanically inclined. I think maybe 20 mins is more then enough to look over the fitting and have an install all taken care of.

It was incredibly easy to replace. The tensioner comes off the cord one of two ways, both simple. Then its just one or two screws holding the mount to the wall. I promise you can do it too! Good luck....

That should be the the one for that year. I didn't realize I had the older of the two in which they changed the motor mid way through 97 so I bought a tensioner from subaru.

No, they are sold separate. I didn't realize it when I ordered mine so I sent them back. I also ordered leaf springs, same thing. So I found a complete lift kit for 500 on eBay.

Instruction are included in the package. Be careful with the screwheads. Dont apply too much pressure when tightning. I broke one of them in mine.

My kit came with everything in pic plus cam bolts. Only needed to buy timing cover gasket and crank seal to complete. The large bolt. looking thing in pic is the tensioner. Cloyes appear to be OE supplier to GM for these parts

Yes, they come with one tensioner, it's usually a good idea to have a backup though.

No. The electronics are not connected to the tension gauge. It is completely manual but it hasn't been an issue for me.

If you have a 2.5L DOHC (dual over head cams) this is the kit. This kit's tensioner is still a one piece tensioner. If you have the SOHC (single over head cam) this is not the right kit. It wasn't really the tensioner as it was the SOHC that was phased in later that year.
