I personally haven't broken any ...yet. I was going to buy a back-up as you are thinking. MANY have snapped them in two.

PN# 89222 and the pulley is 89009 (Dayco)

there is a goodyear tensioner spec'd for this application as well, might be stronger, although I haven't tried one yet

The Dayco definatly looks stronger than the magnacharger tensioner iwas lucky and did'nt have to buy a pulley cause Ihad the one of the other motor I'll tellya I think I will buy a back up aswell as a belt.
