While running Hole in the rock trail last week my buddies SC took a dive and seized up.
After we got it back home and torn apart the RIPP idle pulley seized up and the belt tensioner was also bad. There was tons of fan belt dust under it
See pic of fan belt dust below:


Question- what belt tensioner pulley is used with the RIPP supercharger ?

It's a 2012 JKUR with a 3.6

His best bet would be to get a hold of Ripp and Rip them a new one.

Ouch. Sucks you can't go to any jeep dealer, or auto parts store and get a simple part like that.

I agree. We were just lucky it finally gave out in Moab and not on the trail

They dont even have a parts list on their instructions or site so he needs to call them.

If the factory tensioner was swapped out with the RIPP kit, then you'll have to go through RIPP. A quick Google search shows you can buy parts separately, but not sure what part exactly that you will need.

Just found out the belt tensioner is from a Charger. I will get the year if anyone wants it.
