Pulley gone bad? not sure
Ok, heres how it first started. My belt was squeaking very loud. I replaced it and it was fine. Old belt was cracked like hell.
Yesterday I popped my hood and the belt was half way off all the pulleys. I took it to Autozone and the guy said the main crank pulley is bad. When I look at the pulley it does look like it's wobbling a tad bit, but I thought that was movement from the motor.
And another balancer/pulley is wobbling too, its a bigger one in diameter above the alternator, not sure on the part name of that one.
So I figure if i have to get a new pulley to just go with the SLP since it has the higher walls for belt slippage.
Any input would be great! Thanks.
This is a 98 LS1.

You should not see that pulley wobbling,,the one above the alternator is the power steering unit, NONE of them should wobble visually it is a problem. If you are going to buy a pulley you can go with an underdriven one, I have one car revvs quicker, but some of them are known to chunk belts off at HIGH RPMS. Mine has not done it though and I run the cheap ebay one.
