Anybody know what ANY part number is for the A/C tensioner on a 2013 Vision ISB-10 6.7l? The numbers on the back of the original one don't do a thing for me on interchange.

Is it a Thermo King system? Pad mounted compressor?

Its a Trans Arctic/Carrier system (aren't all Bluebirds? Thought they had plants next door to each other in GA). Pad mounted compressor - the pad mount is gold colored, has a large boss welded onto it for the tensioner.

So, since Trans Arctic is closed for the week, I dug around on their website. I checked EVERY listing for compressor mounts on Cummins engines (about 50! ugh...). It appears they use an 89430 Dayco on all 6-rib belt applications.

Oh, and they use different length belts between model years too. Lovely...

Yeah, there doesn't seem to be a lot of consistency with the belts on these. No Cummins here, so can't help on the tensioner. Sorry

I am off this week also....will look when I get back to see for sure what tensioner number I have at shop for mine, may not be same number but my curiosity is up.. never had more than one around for the Cummins and one for IH engines of course IH seems to change every few years... Btw I am very satisfied with the TK units had them for last 13 years on a fleet of 35 buses + or -
