The 3.5" idler and tensioner seem to work great with the 3.2" SC pulley. The belt doesnt seem too loose or tight. Yay!

Cool. Be careful with that 3.2" unless you've got some mods we can't see in your sig.

Ok so I just want to be clear on this. and the original photos are no longer available:

Pulleys 1, 2, and 3 are all the same size ( 3" ) and the only difference is if they are smooth or grooved? and pulley number 4 is visually larger, what size is this one? I plan on changing all pulleys and belts soon.

Unless you use a shorter SC belt.

The idler is off of a Jeep SOMETHING. I want to say it's a Grand Cherokee. If you're friends with the people at a parts store just have them pull it out and measure it. Let me dig around for a bit and I'll find it. it replaces the front most idler. Going from a 3" grooved to a 3.5" grooved.
