high sided idler pulley
let me make sure im following what we are talking about....
the idler pulley on the passenger side head.... you are putting one on there with higher sides to keep it from "jumping ribs" under quick WOT.... this is what mine does and a manual tensioner is just really expensive...

i just put it on..gates 38009...it is a little bigger but my stock belt does fit. i think my tensioner was more the prob as it would wiggle all around even at idle....replaced it too

I bought the Katech manual tensioner for mine. It comes with a higher walled idler pulley too.
Solved my accessory belt problems.
I havent had to touch either my blower belt or accessory belt for over 7 months now... its great !!!!!
Pity it took so long to get all those things sorted !!
