Default serpentine belt tensor

Does anyone have any idea on where I could get the top belt tensor for my 99 5.7 coup? A part Number? Thanks

Here's the part number for the Tensioner, Drive Belt, 97-00, #12559325. If you're not in a hurry, try GM Parts Direct, good prices but a little slow in delivery. If you need it faster, try Fichtner Parts. I have used both with very satisfactory results.

I have one that has less than 35K on it, and I thought it was the tensioner, but it was the idler pulley and a glazed belt, so I have it sitting around and will give it to you, all you have to do is cover shipping and I can have it out tomorrow.
