THAT is the idler pully that you have been reading about. Because it is small, it spins so fast that it spings its lub out through the seals at the ouer race interface. Gets dry and self destructs at around 65-110K, depending on age and miles. Easy to inspect.
It does not drive anything. There is another one down low just above the crankshaft. You can get a belt that skips that pully, just like new production. That belt is a standard GM belt, $18. Save another $38 on the lower idler pully and labor to replace.
The tensioner idler pully is very easy to replace, 3 minutes if you have things at hand.
Belt tensioner idler pully, $38, Belt $50 tow to the dealer pricele$$.
