And you're positive it's the tensioner? Does it only do it when the a/c is on or does it do it with the a/c off too? When this rattle happens is it at a specific RPM? For example 2000-2100 RPM?

I was hoping you were gonna say something different.

Sounds to me like the reed valves inside your AC compressor maybe gettin ready to check out soon.

If you hook AC gauges up the needles will probably chatter like crazy, which will also confirm the theory of the valves.
