Default Belt tensioner

Anyone know what years are the same? I bought a tensioner from someone on the forum & he said it fits 97 to 04. He said it was the same on his 98 but its not the same on my 03! Anyone need a tensioner for a 98? I'm looking to get my $40 back. Thanks!!!

I think i figured it out. The tensioner he sold me is for a 98 to 02 Camaro. Very little difference but it is different. Would even notice unless you tried to install it! Anyone need a tensioner for a Camaro??

I passed this tensioner up for the $40. Last week right?

So does it fit a Vette or not?

I bought it from a forum member. He said it fits his '98. It does not fit my '03. If you want it let me know!!
