Anyone have one fail? I have a strange noise when the car is cold that sounds like a belt slipping or a frozen pulley. When the car is up to operating temp, it's quiet as can be. Tonight I replaced my belt with a new gatorback in hopes that it was a glazed belt but when I spun the tensioner pulley, it sounded like an old school roller skate. Can I buy just the pulley or do I have to get the whole assembly in case it is not the belt? :shrug:

Bearing is gone. You may can rplace the bearing. What brand is it? If its BF Doug will hook you up.
Im not sure but I think he can. I know Ricard Racing makes an aftermarket piece that Doug can get.
This is normal for these to go out. Ive had to replace them on every Cobra Ive had.

Cool. If you do want to stay with the stock setup PM FORDSVTPARTS. He has discounted prices on OEM parts. You wont find anyone cheaper. His name is Steve.
pm: fordsvtparts. im pretty sure he can hook you up with an oem replacement.
LOL Is there an echo in here?
whoops!!!! you beat me to it..
Can't speak for your year, but I know NAPA carries nice steel repalcement pulleys so you don't have to worry about plastic either. I don't know if this helps you, but it might.

Because it's the stock pulley. We all know that you need the Billletflow pullies to ensure a long and healthy life!! Besides, I'm pretty sure that they are worth about 15 hp!! :beer:
yeah I know, but... 
The only pulley he has with a bad bearing in is the ribbed tensioner pulley
and yes, if he calls and orders a 4 pulley snub idler kit I will throw in a free replacement bearing for the tensioner :beer:
*Edit*
He already has all my idlers....hrmmm.... ok....$5.00 + shipping for a bearing

My thoughts exactly. Here are the bearings I bought...I'm told this is a very high quality bearing for the application!dougwg said:

mosconiac,
That bearing has a steel shield.... which is not so good for automotive applications that are subjected to road dirt and water spray
The bearings that we use are sealed high speed bearings made by NSK

Wow, thanks for letting me know! The counter guy recommended these for the application, so I need to investigate.
