Hi all, My 94 q45t alternator belt tensioner pulley locked up cold. I need another one (that isn't 150.00) I need to get on the road quick. My wife is 9 months pregnant. I will buy a used one if the price is right....just can't seem to find one . also , is there a bearing that will match that one . I'll take a bearing.. Thanks ,James

James,Price one from one of our sponsors. Call Joe at 1-888-216-5328 for a quote. I seem to recall all 3 bearings for the idlers could be had for about $100. He can overnight it in a hurry too if you call before noon and if it's in stock.

Just talked to Justin at that number, Joe is at a meeting. That pulley is on its way overnight brand new for 58.00! The local dealer wanted 150.00!Justin said the price was with the "NICO" discount of course! Thanks again, James

That's great news! It's amazing how much over list some local dealerships charge for parts. Especially considering that there is a distribution center in the Greenville area.

No doubt about it. My Q45t has 105k on it, runs like a champ!the only other problem I have ever had is a rough idle, I pulled the plug from the Mass air box , bent the plugs a little to make better contact and SHAZAM! good as new!only had it up to 120 mph..but it was singing .

I just bought a lot of 10 of these bearings. Local partshouse wanted $21 each. If anyone else needs some--email me $6 each with USPS delivery.

BTW all ball and roller bearings ARE metric. These are 12 M IDx 32MM ODx 10MM wide. The industry standard ID is '301SS' (ss for stainless steel side plates) or just plain '301' for 'rubber' side plates--either work in our application
