I need some help, I have a squeaking pulley and its embarrassing, I believe its an idler pulley on the lower passenger side. Does anyone know what it might be or the proper name of the pulley so I can get a new one. THanks for the help

I believe you are right it is the idler pulley because the other pulley is the tensioner pulley. They have the idler pulley at auto zone I think I paid around ten dollars. I had them order the tensioner pulley for my LS1 and it was the wrong pulley I ended up getting it from GM. and it was right around $50 dollars.

You can try getting it at one of your local auto parts store and maybe it might be the correct one. All I know is the one I got for my 2001 formula LS1 from A/zone was wrong and I was without a vehicle for my daughter so I ended up paying the big price from gm. If yours has not failed like mine did you can have the time to see if the local parts store can get it right. I dont know if the one they got me was in the wrong box or what.
