Hi Luther,
While you're in there replacing all the tensioner components (the best
approach) - I also suggest you take this opportunity to check the timing
chain stretch - since you;ll need to turn the engine with the crank bolt to
align the timing marks on the cam and cam tower - and the crank bolt is only
accessible with the fan & shroud out of the way.
If the tensioner is similar to the one on my 602-962 (91 300D 2.5T) the
replacement work is pretty easy.
Good luck -

And the proper belt. Check the tensioner arm to make sure that it's
pivot bearing isn't shot -- that's what has gone out first on both of
my 60x engines ---
