WARNING! Don't Buy Cheap Parts!!
Okay I'm putting this here since so many of our trucks are running the LS based motors. Moderators move it if you must.
So Three weeks ago I decide to change out the Idler arm pulleys (yes that means two) on the '06 Trailblazer SS with the ever so wonderful LS2 (55k mile). So I call up GM and they want 77.00 for the upper and 66.00 for the lower. Well that just seems to darn much for a couple of tensioners. So I head down to the local parts store (I won't name the store, but it sounds a lot like AutoPhone ![]() The moral of the story is: as we all know, you get what you pay for. And yes, Chevy has the two pulleys on hold for me now. I called them while waiting for the tow truck. I hope you can all get a little chuckle out of this, as well as a good lesson. Shawn
