Default Vortech 6-Rib Smooth Plastic Idler Pulley (3 Inch)

I read in an old thread that this was made by Dayco part # 89003. Can anyone else confirm this to be the correct one?

Went to the Dayco website, found a local mom/pop auto parts store and bought the 89003 for around $17.

The old pulley on the left...new one on the right.



Old one had a slight wobble to it, as I believe the bearings were going out.



Box of the pulley if anyone needs as reference.



In & Out...easy!

was it making a squeezing noise on start up and idle? It happen to me and I just loosen the bolt a little and the noise went away. I think if u over tighen the pulley then it might cause faster wear on the bearings.

what went behind your pulley to keep it from rubbing?? curious because my tensioner pulley rubs against the bracket on the ATI kit sometimes....

Did it come with the pulley? Can you show me a pic of it?? This would really help me... My pulley fell off once and Im having problems keeping it off the bracket.. I figured there was a spacer..

I don't have a picture of it. I'd have to disassemble everything to get a pic. It did not come w/ the new pulley. It was something Vortech provided in their kit.
