Review on 🔧 Gates 36299 Idler Pulley: Smooth and Reliable Performance for Enhanced Belt Functionality by Frank Harwood

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bearing is made in China not Canada - disappointing that Gates claims Canada and sells China

The packaging says the pulley is made in Canada but the most important thing and difficult part of it. Warehouse! Stamped 'Made in China' very clearly, the Canadians made stamped metal and possibly a machine bolt. May be. From above, the bearing looks larger than my stock pulley. It was a perfect match for my 2003 GMC Sierra with a 5.3 liter engine and was easy to swap out. But only Chinese scrap - not for long.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • I don't really like it, everything is fine
