Damper pulley gone bad ?

[blk90s13]

Changed the belt out about a year ago because it was older and that one went bad two days ago chewed up on the inside even the two day old belt is already starting to rip a little on the inside edge as well

so I decided to look at all pulleys while moving and the damper pulley seems to have too much play

can it be bad ? is this a common problem or anyone heard of such a thing before ?

the part is a dealer only part so far and its $420

Anywhere else you know of sell them if I do need a new one ?

I have a fluidampr the reason i needed one was on shut down it would squeak. Mine was 412.00. http://www.klmperformance.com/fluidampr/harmonic-fluid-damper-fluidampr.htm I didnt get mine here ^ just wanted to show you. So to answer your question yes they go bad. Mine did not shread my belt. Make sure everything else is ok.

Oh a squeak is something mine does at shut down as well

My 01 squeeks everytime also, dont think it's a big deal because it will squeek when belt is old and new. And maybe my tensioner is a little week but it has not efected anything in 5 years Ive had it. My 05 does not squeek

My truck has squeeked on shut down since it was new. Still does. I wonder about the idler pully, I had one fail on a Ford Ranger (2.2 natural diesel (no turbo). Not sure if the pivot wore first or the ball bearings but both were junk when it came out.

I tried to figure out if it was bad today but no luck other than seeing it shake while running so I ended up taking it to my friend's shop who looked at it and said it does need replacementNow where can I get one for a deal ? I am so broke its not even funny :banghead:

I go through these things every few years. You can see the rubber coming out when they get old.

I have one, years of use with 3000+ rpm no trouble. Solved my squeak problem at shut down.
