Idler pulley source
I was at a track day today. I guess all those rpms were a bit much on my 120k mile idler pulley. I got off track and the belt was in shreds, and all that's left of the pulley is the bearing! 
I called the local auto parts stores, they list it as unavailable.
So, is the only place I can get one a dealer?

Now that everything is finally openned again....
I called the dealer $52
I called the local Autozone, they sell either the pulley $12, or the whole tensioner $30

For the LT1, I bought the belt, idler, tensioner, and power steering pump pulley from a GM dealer.
With the exception of the power steering pump pulley, they all came with the Dayco name and part numbers on them.
So, I could have bought the same thing at Advance Auto Parts for less money.

I picked up my new pullies. I thought they were the wrong size. I didn't realize it exploded 
I'm glad I picked up two, idler & tensioner, same part #, as the other one doesn't look so hot either.
