CleanSierra Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Don't use them. They will get got, seize up or get your belt hot to the point of shredding it. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Idler pulleys come in all kinds of sizes for different cars look around and see if you can find a smaller one. What size is the belt you have and where is your triple alt kit from? That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
CleanSierra Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 I'm just letting you know that those bearings have a good likelihood of failing. I've seen it.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted August 14, 2014 Report Posted August 14, 2014 Don't they offer a belt for that kit? I installed their dual alt bracket on. 5.3 for a friend and it came with the required belt. What's the number on your belt I'll check the belt book in the morning and see what's out there that's slightly bigger.

What's the number on your belt I'll check the belt book in the morning and see what's out there that's slightly bigger. ive had my 114 1/2 on there for a bit but it always squeeled because of lack of pulley wrap i believe. mine is wrapped like the one in the first pic. second link is how i want to route the belt. i have the exact same everything as that guy. same alts and same kit. http://www.nationsautoelectric.com/gmtriplet.html http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp91/hunters21w/3B1D653B-8D93-47C0-8617-BAB1B831A37E-15507-000002C6A3A382F9_zpsd8ea326e.jpg then i seen this guys setup with the same exact alts and bracket so i seen which belt he had and ordered it. only to find out when i put it on routed this way my tensioner pulley is maxed out to the fullest so i didn't want to try to run it. i don't get how he has it on there like that with no issues. but i really want to have it wrapped like that as i don't like hearing squealing shit every time i step on the pedal. so i figure if i can find slightly smaller idlers i could route my belt that way and maybe it would do away with the squealing. even if it didn't its more wrap on the alt pulley which cant be a bad thing right? thanks for looking into anything bro.
808faka Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Posted August 14, 2014 got one of my idlers off, just gonna go down to a few local parts stores see if they got anything. shoulda did that first. thanks for the heads up about the bearings shredding belts sierra.
