I would change them out as quick as possible. Pops had one lock up on his 4.7 in his ram. Threw the belt off immediately.

Mine went out two weeks ago but I was working out of town so the wife took it to a friends shop it cost 160.00. He said the part was 80.00.

I don't know what it's called. But it did the same thing to my belt. The pulley melt just like the first one. I deleted the picture but it sure was a mess. I still have melted plastic stuck to the motor.
