Default Used or Aftermarket Pulleys?

Anyone know where I could find a used or aftermarket pulley for the 3.9L V6 on a 1990 Dak? The dealer wants $160 bucks for the two I need. Looking for a less expensive option.

Looking for the crankshaft pulley and the water pump pulley. I thought there might be a website somewhere. Thanks!

If the pulleys off my 1999 5.2 will work, you can pretty much have them. I would look for some aftermarket ones,maybe jet performance has some.

Yea not to mention you can usually get underdrive pulleys for less than the dealership will charge for OE specs.

None of the local parts stores or junk yards even keeps pulleys. I think I may just live with the wobble and the slight rattle. But thanks for the input.

i paid somewhere near 50 dolars for a small simple idler pulley from the dealer last year, none at the 3 parts stores had it or could get it. the dealer was highway robbery for that part. i needed it right away and didnt have time to look for something similar in a junkyard.

that's strange where you guys at because autozone can get all the pulleys i want. Also try summit, jegs, jcwhitney, dodgeparts.com, moparperformance.com, even Ebay! lol

i get most everything from napa and autozone, i tried a third, autopalace and they all said the same thing, go to the dealer. if i didnt need it right away i would have just found any similar pulley and got it on there. its the first time i had a problem getting a part except for the convertible roof, those parts arent anywhere and i would like some new gaskets for it before the where out, also the stripe kits seem to be all gone for the 89. ive also had good luck with worldpartsexpress.com
