Dublin, Ohio – July. 9, 2026 – Litens Aftermarket N.A, offering the most complete portfolio of aftermarket belt drive products, has added 29 new SKUs to its product lineup, covering more than 26.6 million vehicles in operation (VIO), the company announced today.
The new release includes three tensioners featuring Easy Button™ latch and TAP™ (Technician Assist Pin) technology, designed to simplify installation and improve serviceability for technicians. These additions cover 3,609,409 VIO and further expand Litens’ growing portfolio of technician-focused products.
It also adds two new pulleys covering 460,000 VIO, five new overrunning alternator decoupler (OAD) pulleys covering 705,304 VIO, and 14 new kits covering 21,861,750 VIO.
“This latest release reflects our focus on delivering both coverage and innovation to the aftermarket,” said Kevin Wilk, Marketing and Communications Coordinator at Litens Aftermarket N.A. “Just as important as expanding coverage is making the job easier for technicians. We want them to have the right parts on hand, a smoother installation, and the confidence to get the repair done right every time.”
New Easy Button Tensioners
Tensioner 999081EZ supersedes Litens’ existing 999615A tensioner and covers 3,111,730 VIO across a range of 2011 to 2025 Subaru models. The application brings Easy Button coverage to Subaru’s boxer engine platform, which is popular among enthusiasts, but often considered labor intensive to service due to its tight engine bay clearances. The Easy Button™ latch and TAP™ technology will allow a single technician to torque the tensioner and lock it into place, which can cut down on labor time and simplify service for this application.
Tensioner 999780EZ is a brand-new part number covering 377,786 VIO covering select 2021 to 2024 Ford F-150 and Ford Lobo models. Rounding out the lineup, tensioner 999083EZ supersedes Litens’ existing 999129A tensioner and covers a range of select 2001 to 2007 Chevrolet and GMC models.
The new tensioners join Litens’ original Easy Button™ tensioner, expanding the Litens’ tech-friendly product line. With this product release, Litens’ Easy Button™ tensioner coverage now totals more than 3.7 million VIO .
The new SKUs are available now through Litens’ distribution network, and the company plans to continue the growth of its tech-friendly lineup, with more Easy Button™ tensioners expected to launch later in 2026.
