Need help truck problem

[Gunner]

I got a 2006 dodge ram 1500 5.7 hemi and a pulley is shredded. I don't know what this one is called

[stodg73]

Idler pulley, fixed.

[brutal]

Just show that pic to the NAPA guy.

Are you broke down somewhere, need a hand?

I did that just today and got the wrong part. Doh.

[Gunner]

Idler pulley, fixed.
That's what I thought. However local plave only shows they have daco idler tensioner pulley.

Is that the same thing?

Also is there a difference in the upper and lower one

No I'm home so I'm good thank you though!

[Gunner]

I think it should just bolt on and off once i get the belt off. Am I right?

Looks like 89007 is the flat steel one.

It should, it looks like the idler pulley, the tensioner is the one to the right in the picture.

Replace your serpentine belt at the same time, it is showing some damage. Save the old one and store it in your truck, it will make a good emergency get your butt home spare belt.

Looks like the OEM part is 68058372AA

New OEM part appears to be nylon.

[earplug]

I'd replace the tensioner and belt at the same time.

[brutal]

Looks like there is also a lower.

Agree with earplug, replace all three pulleys and the belt, cheap insurance.

[Gunner]

I'd replace the tensioner and belt at the same time.
Yeah that was my plan. I just wasn't sure if there was a difference in the upper and lower pulley but they seem to be the same

If you're still not sure try posting the pic on dodgetalk.com. I've used the info from guys at the forum before and it's always been sound.

Ahhh! Got it all fixed feels good. Only took maybe 20minutes. Hardest part was doing it in the dark and trying to get my belt back on

That is what I was told in my youth. All the parts that didn't pass the high standard of Ford get sent over to make Dodges.
