Found my other half in the bottom plastic cover under the Rad. (After I rode my bike back to the spot and searched for it
) I swapped pulleys because the Dayco comes with a bigger/smooth pulley. I was thinking of taking the bigger one and making it the new idler pulley below the nose of the S/C. Might provide more belt wrap in the "power" pulley
Upon further inspection of the belt that snapped, it was cracked all over and pretty much shot to hell. I bought it used from a member on this board who said it had less than 10K miles on it. Learned my lesson...only buy new belts and inspect them once in awhile
I'm about 99% positive when the belt broke, all the tension came off and the pulley snapped back and hit the stop, and snapped like a twig. I did the same thing as KYSilverado, punched it, the tires broke loose and I let out and I had no power steering. I was real close to the house so I just continued the 1/8 mile until I got in the driveway.

mine didnt break but the idler pushed back and stuck in that pos. causing the belt to be loose...took my hand and pushed on it a little and it snapped back into pos..
The aluminum arm of the tensioner is what snapped.

Got home today for a business trip and the assy from Magnacharger is here. I had bought the the wrong pulley. The Dayco 89015 pulley is to small. The 89222 tensioner assy from Dayco is correct. I'm gonna find the right pulley so I will have a spare. Will post up the right Dayco pulley once I know. BlownChevy this might be useful info to the guys here if you could post the correct Dayco Pulley #?

The correct part number for the tensioner is 89222 (Dayco)
The correct part number for the pulley you will need to swap onto the new tensioner is 89009 (76mm 6 Groove with flange)
I know all this because.....
I BROKE THE FU**ING THING AGAIN TODAY!!!! Called a ride, found the parts at an Advanced in the next town and put it back together. It shredded part of my belt but not to the point of unusable. Guess I'm gonna go get a new belt tomorrow. I might buy another one and keep it in the truck since this seems to be a trend. Same situation, I floored it, let up and ....no power steering. Pop hood, broke tensioner laying under radiator, pulley chewed up from hitting something under the hood and a belt that needs replaced. Wonder if I could wrap a 16 gauge piece of sheet metal around the arm to reinforce it. I don't know if its snapping due to torque or the belt is coming off and releasing the tension and it snaps itself in half from the backlash. Any ideas? The wife and dog were with me and she called one of her girlfriends to get us. So, I'll never hear the end of this....."If you'd leave the stupid truck alone we wouldn't have these problems" Blah Blah Blah...words words words...
