I'm about to change the timing belt and the idler / tensioner pulley on my 89 2.5 Turbo Spirit. It just turned over 200,000 miles, so the factory tensioner pulley might be a bit worn, probably should change it.
I went to the local Advance Auto Parts, and the idler wheel they showed me had ball bearings with a PLASTIC wheel molded over it.
Is that one ok to use, or should I stick to the local Dodge dealership parts department? I presume theirs would be different although I have no idea.
And a Dayco timing belt and the pulley at Advance cost about 60% of what the Dodge dealership wants.
