Gates 07-03 Ford Super Duty Pickup V8 6.0L Diesel Idler Pulley Drive Belt Drive Pulleys & Tensioner

This Gates idler pulley is built with a steel bearing that's sealed to keep contaminants out, which is crucial for the 6.0L diesel engine in your Ford Super Duty truck or E-350 van. It's designed to replace the original idler pulley that keeps your serpentine belt running smoothly and quietly.

Over time, the bearing in your original idler pulley can wear out, leading to noise like squealing or grinding, and potentially causing the belt to track improperly. This Gates replacement uses a well-built steel bearing that's lubricated and sealed to handle the demands of your diesel engine. It's a direct fit replacement, meaning it's made to install just like the factory part, so you won't have to modify anything to get it in place.

Replacing a worn idler pulley is a common maintenance item for these trucks and vans. It's a good idea to inspect your idler pulley whenever you're doing other belt-driven component work, like replacing the serpentine belt or tensioner.
