[QUOTE="mu22stang, post: 9715787, member: 81298"] This question never gets answered and I wish I knew some tech on the subject. My thought is: Yes, the increased serpentine tension is the sole source of this "common" idler pulley failure. Belt tensioners automatically adjust the tension, but only to a point. If you notch the tensioner and/or tighten the serpentine system beyond the adjustment range of the tensioner, the radial strength of the stock idlers can be exceeded. The picture above seems to illustrate that the failure was from an extreme side load, cause by serpentine tension. [/QUOTE]
