Im adding an AFX UDP, and I just bought all gator belts for the timing belt, ac/ps belt, and alt. belt, and my friend who is gonna help me install all this says I should also change my tensioner. Well I went up to Carmax (satans sister) and they qouted me $450 for a tensioner, I was like yea right, I thought it was like around $67 (searched on 2gnt and found out Bob Kise could get it for like $67) so then I called up satan and they said $150. So whats going on? Am I telling them the right thing that I need? Do I even really have to change the tensioner? I just wantted to change my belts since they sqeak and add the udp, but he said since im down there might as well change the tensioner too.

How do you get stuff from Bob? If thats what he can really get a tensioner for us for, let me know how to get ahold of him, I need to get one when I do a front main seal next week.(and rear main also, what a bitch).

Yes guys, Bob Kise's prices are THAT good!
He's out of Forum Dodge in Michigan, give 'em a call at (810) 714-3300. Mention you are with 2GNT and you get a bigger discount of his lower prices. I call him for any Diamler-Chrysler part. Best prices I've found.

Thanks for the input. I'll definately give him a call and have him quote me prices on a bunch of shit i have been needing to buy given a decent price, and report back w/ my findings on t-belt related parts and gasket sets and other stuff.

Listen brothers Bob is the MAN to call for parts. I got everything I still needed for the rebuilds. HG (gasket only), Upper gasket set, 2 97+ fuel rails, 2 pulleys for timing belt, 1 tensioner, Total 398.72. Brad I think the upper gasket set was either $87 or $90 but I'm not sure. Not only good deals but a really cool guy, he called me the other day and got my voicemail (which is a joke where I use an accent) and he left a funny message in the same voice, very cool guy, very helpful. Also see this link for the prices Dave got on his t-belt stuff. http://forums.2gnt.com/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=4&topic_id=34155&mesg_id=34155&listing_type=search
