Tensioner pulley froze up and belt broke. Replaced TENSIONER PULLEY and serpentine belt...shop cost was
$156.12. Thought it was a little high but the weather was cold (15 degrees) and I didn't want to be outside working on it. You should be able to buy a replacement pulley for $35/45 and time to change requires about 1/2 to 3/4 hour. If weather was warmer I could have saved $100 plus by doing it my self.Flag ThisLike0
