i cant seem to find a place that sells an upper idler pulley ( the big and smooth with the wall thing..) for a 5.0 engine.. i've looked at autozone, pepboys, napa and advanced auto parts but all they have is the small lower pulley..

does anybody know where to get them?

Thanks!

i really dont know the dimensions of the pulley or if they redesigned it and took out the sidewalls..
 






Try Torrie at Fast Parts Network or your local Ford dealer.

Good luck ....
 












I have replaced the upper idler pully on my '00 limited 5.0 a few times now with ones from a local parts store and they kept goin out. The dealership is your best bet, it might be a bit more expensive but it comes with a new bolt and washers too. A lot of times they go out because the bolt is slightly bent which strains the bearings in the pully.
 












u can just replace the bearing inside the last 4 or 5 i did that way only cost me 5 bucks each, lay pulley on flat surface use a socket or seal -bearing driver the same size as bearing a few taps an old bearing is out.
ive even popped old bearings out with just my hand it doesnt take to much force . :))
