add me to the list.......

**richiejerzee4lfe** · 07-19-2006, 02:57 PM

me 3. let us know.

**pocus** · 07-27-2006, 02:35 PM

I don't know if i'm on the list but i'll buy one if it's made

**IslandFocus** · 08-09-2006, 07:49 PM

Any progress being made on this?

**2.0TooSlow** · 08-10-2006, 11:11 PM

Also, could it be made in a little smaller diameter? With the 5.7" crank pulley clearance is minimal.

**Jibberish18** · 08-11-2006, 06:33 AM

Just wondering, what would a different tensioner pulley do for your engine? Would the decreased weight of the aluminum help? Or is it upgraded bearing like everyone is talking about that would help?

**CaysE** · 08-13-2006, 10:38 PM

A better bearing would get rid of a bit of parasitic drag and increase lifespan, increased tension would get rid of belt slop caused by a supercharger, and smaller diameter would allow for more clearance of underdrive pulleys. Aluminum just looks nice in this application.

**alx** · 08-17-2006, 07:20 AM

I'd buy one, I know FoMoCo did not design the stock unit to live with a PWSC blower in the belt loop. 2nd the motion to upgrade the bearings. Ford's belt tensioners have been known to seize up and/or wobble.

**Reza** · 08-18-2006, 12:40 PM

are you guys goining to make this?

**IslandFocus** · 08-18-2006, 02:09 PM

It seems that there is quite a bit of interest so SOMEONE should consider making this happen

Yes, but this won't be ready for a few months.

**pocus** · 08-19-2006, 11:26 AM

like how many months possibly by the end of nov. cause thats when i'm coming back state side and will be finishing up my car.

**CrazyWella** · 08-27-2006, 12:46 PM

count me in.

**01sportwagon** · 01-15-2007, 04:45 PM

Any luck with this? I just checked the CFM web site and did not find anything. I'm looking to replace my belt and thought this would be a good thing to do while I'm in there...

By the way, better berrings and a lighter pulley (think lighter rims) should remove a bunch of parasitic drag. However, a stonger spring will cause other bushings to fail...

Thanks-

you dont have a FoMoCo tensioner if you have a PW kit. The tensioner used in that kit is from a 91 Saturn SL1, trust me, i have broke 2 of them, freeking GM crap.

lol.

**Terrible1** · 01-15-2007, 05:34 PM

Put me down for 2

**geostef** · 01-16-2007, 03:45 AM

I am also in!

**IslandFocus** · 01-16-2007, 02:48 PM

Well, it looks like there are a few people interested in this beside me. It's in your court now CFM

**boosted00focuszx3** · 01-16-2007, 03:14 PM

on my fiances 01 zx3 we had the tensioner pulley pretty much explode into pieces one day (Bearings didnt lock up) and took out the belt in the process, Luckly I was only like 5 mins from home.

**01sportwagon** · 01-17-2007, 02:18 AM

Well... I couldn't wait any longer. I purchased the OEM tensioner pulley (pn: ys4z6a228aa ~$68) and the Idler (pn:98bz8678ac which replaced the 98bz8678ac ~$14).

I found both to be made out of plastic. :-( So, the lighter weight AL version may not be much lighter if at all. I can also tell you the berrings are still the same baseline quality as the factory version. Hope this helps.

**DGTL Toys** · 01-21-2007, 03:36 PM

put me down for one for mine is near failing.

any news on these cfm? Mine tensioner is ticking on me once again.

**pocus** · 01-30-2007, 10:47 PM

those pullies are nice but that doesn't help the issue with the tensioner

What issue are you talking about? Mine have larger bearings that wont blow up and the pully is made of 7075 aluminum. What issue are you having with your stock pulley???
