idler pulley part #

[vroomzoomboom]

does anyone have/know the part number for the idler pulley below the belt tensioner for the 5L motors? )in blue)

i cant seem to find it on rock auto (or dont think its the right one) and any ford parts web page i go on doesnt list it

AutoZone shows the ribbed idler pulley as Durlast Part Number 231015. If you don't like Duralast, you can probably use the PN as a xref.

P.S. Love the mill, hate your choice of oil filters.

ok, so when i use that number on RA, it comes back as a GATES Part # 38008 and DAYCO Part # 89015. the first time i read it over i thought it said 6 inch pulley, but it says 6 GROOVED pulley (brain fart on my end). thanks for verifying it for me however.
thanks for the compliment on the motor. still have a few things to sort out on it however. as for the filter, everyone hates on them. i am only using them for break in. the first one was 20 mins old, the second one was on for maybe 100 miles, the third one will be coming off soon as well (maybe 100-200 miles on it) and if my issues are sorted out, will go to a better filter. i promise!

May be easier to remove the pulley, should be a part number on it.

The reason why it shows that as a balancer now is that part number for the pulley originally is now a discontinued part number for the pulley and was switched over.

so to update this, i ended up going to the local parts store with the pulley. the good news, they had one. it is a dayco (and/or gates) 89015. the bad news, is the dayco is plastic and not metal.

I posted the exact link to buy one a week ago lol?

That's the tensioner pulley, no wonder you keep getting the wrong part. Idler is top center below the blower (just got mine in the mail today, been rattling all winter)

The link I posted above is the part that is circled in your first picture.

Even shows the diagram.

Well whatever you kids are calling it these days, since it's pretty accessible take it off and head to your local parts supply house (forget big box chain stores) and match it up. They're pretty universal just choose diameter and rib count/smooth
