Default i need a tensioner for a 98 3.8 V6

i have a tensioner thats goin bad on my v6, it's misaligned a bit and it's causin the car to heat up and all that jazz apparently. i know i need a new one but no one seems to have the part. i heard these are only $90, but does anyone on here know? i might have to get it from chevy, but it's usually more expensive form the manufacturer. any help/suggestions on where to buy one would be appreciated. also, any idea what kinda workload it is to install this part? thx

Yeah. I needed one and lucked out, finding a NEW assembly on eBay. I got it for roughly 40 bucks, and picked up the plastic elbow for 5 at a local AutoZone.
