1991 Dakota 318 TBI Belt Tensioner made of Unobtainium

Answer to prayer.

There were two 1991 Dakota's with the 5.2 in one of the local pick and pull yards. Left work early yesterday with the hope of finding a workable tensioner. First one was missing the part (I see a trend...), but the first had only been there for a couple of days and it still had the part, and it felt like it was still in good shape. Feels pretty unlikely that the one year only truck would be in the yard with the part I needed, but there it was.

Grabbed a new belt on the way home and slapped it on with my pulley and I am on the road again.
