I had the tensioner pulley snap off the motor last summer. It took the dealer 1 1/2 weeks to get the right parts and drill the bolts out of the side of the motor. The up side was the only rental they had was a hemi ram. I got to do a lot of fun truck stuff .

I would like to know which pulley as well. I have heard of a few tensioners breaking too.
This is not a common problem though..
