Okay so I have a 2001 bullitt and I bought a belt tensioner to replace my squeaky one only to find out there is a 99 belt tensioner on it? Is this even possible? How can my 01 bullitt have a 99 belt tensioner when they're different? The motor was rebuilt while back. Please help

01 was a odd ball year
99-mid01 are the same but at some point in 01 the they started using different water pump and pulleys so if your cars an early 01 it will be the same as the 99 but if its a late 01 it will be like the 04

It depends when your car was built. The changes occurred in March 01.

Or they did a 3-bolt tensioner front cover swap on it...
