Magnacharger Broke Tensioner
Guys,
A little help please. I threw a belt yesterday and broke the belt tensioner on my charger. With help from 1SlowHoe, thanks buddy.
I've bought Dayco tensinoer assy 89222 and replaced the pulley with Dayco # 89015. I am not certian the pulley is the right size. When the tensioner snapped the pulley went to places unknown. 
According to Dayco pulley 89015 is 70mm, 6 rib and is the replacement for the idler on the 5.3.
Here are a couple links to the things I've bought. Anybody know if this is the right pulley. Good confidence the tensioner is correct as 1SlowHoe is using it.

This assembly might actually be the exact replacement but they didn't have one in stock?

Think I threw the belt. Got on it then let off real quick when the rear end broke loose. Ran over something, probably the end of the pulley and tensioner exiting the scene. No power steering etc... Pulled over to check it out. Belt was still in one piece but cut up, went to the toolbox and pulled out the spare belt and wrench, thinking no problemo, I'll just slap this on and be on my way. Tensioner snapped about mid arm. Identical to pic in 1ShowHoe thread. Took me 2 hours to drive home, 15 miles, Christmas day. Had to keep stopping and letting the truck cool back down since I had no water pump action.
Yeah, pretty sure its the right tensioner. Will be good info for those with same problem in future. Just don't know if the 89015 pulley is the right diameter.
I've given Magna a call today. Must be busy or closed. I didn't let it ring real long. On the road and cell phone about ran out. Where is Brian when you need him to save the day?

I don't have the original pulley. It went missing once seperated from its home. Probalby laying in a ditch on US 127 somewhere south of Harrodsburg, KY.
