I have some wear on the pulley from the back side of the Serpentine Belt (must be from the belt flexing as it "bends" around the aluminum pulley). It appears the wear on Locobob's pulley is much more as it appears the back side of the Serpentine Belt has worn completely through the Aluminum surface as I can see ridges (Serpentine Belt is a bit narrower than the pulley riding surface between the two guides).

I am replacing ALL Billet Aluminum Belt Tensioner Pulleys with New Stock Belt Tensioner Pulleys immediately. Why wait

I am not sure why this pulley wears as it does and the vender says he has seen no issues with this pulley. I can confirm the Backside of the Serpentine Belt does wear on the Aluminum in this application.

How many miles on this failed Belt Tensioner Aluminum Pulley?
