Do you have a aftermarket smaller blower pulley?

bearings ?or do you have the oil line hooked up ? That sounds ugly man . I think you're not getting oil to the blower or the bearings are screwed . It might be time to rebuid it .

+1... I have a vortech minorrebuild kit if you are interested. They go for 400+ bucks at Vortech. It comes with 4 bearings, and two seals.

Well whatever it is vortech is paying for it.
I took it to a shop and they say it could be the idler pulley.

All vortechs come with a 3 year warranty, but I bought the blower 7 months ago and I just not remembered to turn the paperwork in, so I may not get it.
A shop around town is gonna look and see if it's the idler pulley.
