Idler pulley Question ?

[Mrneg9]

Bought a new idler pulley today. Question for you all. My old stock steel pulley has ears on the sides of the pulley where the belt rides in between. The new pulley is steel but does not have the lip on the ends it's flat across. I'm figuring it should make a difference correct ?

As long as the belt has tension it should not be a issue. I have a good stock spare leftover if you need one.

Running it now and it seems to be fine. Thanks for your reply Shawn.

It should not make a difference. The grooves in your other pulleys will help keep the belt where it needs to be.
