🔩 Accu-Drive Pulley for Continental 49001 Review

Excellent quality pulley. The metal is thicker and feels as solid as the original GM that sits on my 2000 7.4 liter Chevy K2500. There is no visible roundness deviation and it runs correctly and doesn't wobble like other brands I've tried (Delco, Dorman and Gate, all of which didn't have their bearings pressed straight in), the boxes say Made in USA, but note that the Bearing is manufactured in the PRC (China).

It's a unique washer with three lugs that hold the bolt in place - if your bolt's threads are damaged in any way (like mine) this job becomes…

It fixed the problem for about a week or two and started making a loud squeak again, mostly when it was cold but other times too. So I did a lot of research and ended up ordering a Gatorback Serpentine Belt, a Gatorback Idler Pulley, and a Gatorback Idler Pulley for a complete belt system overhaul. So they arrived quickly and I popped the hood up and got to work, their…
