Metal Tensioner Pulley
The cheap plastic tensioner pulley on my Avalanche just broke on the highway, in the middle of nowhere last night...
So I decided to go metal this time but surprised not to be able to find one: seems to me Innovators West is the only company makes an aluminum tensioner pulley. But they only make 8 or 10 grooves and mine is 6. Anybody here knows where I can buy a metal pulley? Thanks!

Bearings' No. 1 killer is heat: plastics are good thermal insulators and keep all the heat inside the bearings to kill them faster. Aluminum should be a better material but I can't find one.
