I find it rather strange myself. From the picture URL that Jon had posted,
the tensioner is bolted down behind the factory cam gear and sits on the
passenger side. The timing gear/chain set that I have installed right now
is a Mopar Performance kit that fits the V8's. The block, mounting holes,
and gears are identical so I wonder why they didn't put one in on the V8's.
Hmmmmm......

The tensioner is just a V6 item. Why??? I couldn't tell you. I looked
into it when I replaced mine on my V8. They don't offer a kit or upgrade of
any type for this. The engines are virtually the same, why the tensioner is
only applied to the V6 makes no sense to me. The dealerships couldn't tell
me why either.
