Sorry but I just saw your post. Just curious, how'd this work out?
Worked out fine so far. I used concrete anchor set epoxy on the threads when I installed the insert. I doubt it was necessary.
I have always preferred threaded inserts as opposed to heli-coils.
I bought from MSC.

http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/sho ... bly=533921https://www.google.com/search?q=0509393 ... 0&ie=UTF-8I got a bad mind set right away. I was Googling the tensioner and problems, Found others with the same issue as me and they talked about using threaded inserts. I got that on my brain and never pushed checking for a replacement part.
The whole issue with mine was that to short of bolt was used to hold the tensioner and the aluminum did not have enough meat to hold it.
It had a M10-1.5x60 mm bolt and it calls for an M10-1.5 x 70 mm bolt. I would urge everybody to check their bolt length before they have this issue. a new bolt is about $2 compared to $50 for the fix. Checking is free.
I had an 80 mm bolt so I used that. Still had a little bit of thread left over. I was scared the bolt would bottom out to the shoulder before it tightened. But it worked.
I have been having problems finding the proper torque specs for related bolts and for the cross member under the transfer case.
I have personal issues with breaking things or under tightening things by hand. Over the years, I have lost my feel for hand tightening. Especially for anything under 1/2" in size.
Torque specs I think I have found:
Aluminum wheels - 100 ft. lbs.
Tensioner to tensioner mounting bracket - one bolt - M10x1.5x70mm - 34.6672 ft lbs or 47 Nm
Tensioner / power steering bracket to block bolts - 35 ft. lbs
In the books I saw it called the power steering bracket and the tensioner bracket depending on what part of the book I was looking at.
I have NOT found the torque specs for the 3 bolts from the power steering pump to the power steering pump / tensioner bracket
Nor have I found the torque specs for the 3 bolts for the power steering pump pulley.
I also have NOT found the torque specs for the 6 bolts on the transfer case cross member to frame. There are 3 bolts on either end of the cross member that hold it to the frame.
