Pentastar Idler Pulley and Belt Tensioner Torque Values?
Does anyone happen to know the torque values for the Pentastar's (3.6, 2011 Durango) idler pulley and the belt tensioner? I searched around an couldn't seem to find anything. These two circled:
Had a whine start the other day, and when I took off the serpentine belt the idler puller doesn't rotate smoothly, you can feel it clicking. Also, the power steering pulley showed signs of slipping from the belt, so got a new belt and belt tensioner to hopefully resolve that issue.

I was given the values for a '14 of 18 ftlb for the Idler and 41 ftlb for the Tensioner.
Got the idler puller and belt tensioner along with a belt last week. The belt was Dayco, but the back side of it was really slick so didn't even want to try it since that's what drives the water pump pulley. Ordered a Continental Elite Poly-V belt that has the grip texture on the rear side of the belt. Put them all on today and GTG.
