I had a noise emerging from the engine. Turns out I need to replace the pulleys. 2 idler. 1 tensioner. All spin freely. All have a gritty feel. All have just a slightly measureable give. Belt on: whirring. Belt off: engine purrs.

That said...

Pelican Mubea Brand pulleys. With a new belt... ~$260

Is Mubea the brand with which to go? The Sebro Brand is less expensive, but I read that the pulley itself is plastic. The Mubea, I don't know.

What about the Duralast from Autozone for the idlers?

What are you guys buying?

Thank you.
