Same thing happened to me the other day, the idler to the left of the tensioner is barely hanging there. It doesnt look to be part of the tensioner, was wondering if anyone could help me out if they know if its possible to buy the pulley, and where. It has a Torq head bolt i believe. Iv seen a tensioner for the 7.3 with both pulleys on the same unit, but i dont think thats what i need. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just wend down to lordco and ordered one, then ended up driving and hr and a half up island to get the pulley. Well I got that all sorted out but today when I was heading to an autowrecker my front U-joints starting locking up and pretty much stoping my ability to steer and my blew the rear brake line in 2 places. (one up on the frame and the other on top of the diff)

I had the same problem with NAPA. The part is BRG6203. Counter jockeys just aren't as good as they used to be...

If you can afford to replace both idler pulleys do it. I did one and thought all was good and the lower one went bluh about a week after the upper one did. So do them both at the same time. I also carry a spare along with my other spare parts.
