Default Replacing idlers and tensioners.

You guys had any luck with the aftermarket stuff?

I'm replacing all of them, and aftermarket can save me a decent chunk of cash. Are there any trustworthy brands, other than OEM?

With the diesels over here in UK, the tensioner goes regularly(Ford engine) and the aftermarket ones never last, genuine one every time!!

I decided to go genuine.

Now my only concern is figuring out how get in there with my torque wrench to properly torque the stuff.
