Not sure how accurate it is, but I just went to Napa online and checked that part number and it say it is available.

That pulley in the picture was a sample. I had them put the orange color bearing like the original was back in there. In stock & ready to ship.
I agree with Coach we wiped them out a while ago as well.
The thing is Napa does get returns like any store. May have got lucky & 1 was returned?? I got a NOS GN t-top glass like that back in 06. A body shop shut down & returned GM parts.

I picked up the tensioners today. For some reason I can't post pics but I received the two that I ordered from Car Quest. Their part # is 38374. Label says Gates. Came from their Kansas City store.

Do you live in KC?

 

[williamsGN]

Nope, just sounded like you had a lead on one, and in fact did.

Here is a listing on Ebay from JC Whitney. They told me they were out of stock however. The pic does not look correct as it doesn't have the mounting point for the pulley. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Gates-A...Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c2f99e058&vxp=mtr

I tried to order one from there last weekend. They called me a couple of days later to tell me that they couldn't locate one. Bummer.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Turbo Buick

I have worked on these cars for the last 20 years. I cant remember a tentioner failure. It has always been a belt issue.

But the little ear in front that the alternator bolt passes through easily breaks. That is the most common reason for replacement.
