Just to let you know, the dayco belt tensioner part #305297 from autozone is now $78. The post that I found the part # from, stated that it was $40, posted by andrew titled "belt tensioner". So this is just a warning that the price has sky rocketed.

Does anyone know the price from Ford?

Also, how is the labor to install it? Hours? Difficulty?

Thank you

dont go through auto zone go to advanced auto.
the autozone by me had 2 wrong part numbers listed. At advanced it took like 2 seconds for the right part for less money. (no where near $78). Took like 5 minutes to fix too.

Thanks 550,

For anyone else who needs the tensioner. The part through Advanced Auto is Dayco #89297. It was $40. The tensioner is marked with #297-1674134 on it, and the torx bolt is 9.8 (strength?), and has marked #69 on it. Hope this will save people some money.
