My serpentine belt came off while driving. I noticed the idler pulley on the S-Trim (purple colored, smooth pulley) was the cause. It's ****ed over to one side -looks like the bearing are gone.

My questions:

1.) Is this normal wear/tear, or does this indicate a bigger problem? Never had a belt problem before, and its been over 10k miles with this set-up.

2.) Should I just replace with the same, or are there improved set-ups?
 
honestly you're better off re-posting this in the "power adders" forum, since most people there have first hand experience with blowers and their wear and tear. I hope you find the answer you're looking for and get the stang back up and running soon though.
