Accessory tensioner pulley... WHEEL CAME OFF!!!

korby05 · Jul 29, 2013

Alright guys the wheel on my accessory tensioner pulley came off. It started to make a noise a couple days ago and just yesterday the rubber wheel came off. Now I know I shouldn't drive it because it'll just chew up the belt.
The question at hand is do I have to replace the whole tensioner or can I just replace the wheel. The stealership wants 118 bucks for the whole assembly.

Btw it's a 2002 1500 with the 5.9 magnum

Thanks in advance.

You can buy just the tensioner pulley. 38006 from Napa I believe.
It has been like 7 or 8 years since I worked there, so have em look it up.

I just bought the tensioner from Rock Auto for my 06, $30

On another note, if you still have a stock tensioner, and more than about 60k miles, it might not be bad to replace the whole unit anywho. Make sure you're keeping proper tension on your serp belt system.
