My 2000 Dodge Caravan Base 2.4L broke down on me the other day. The tension pulley's bearings were messed up and had been making noise. Well the pulley finally gave up and broke apart. In the process it chewed up the belt and broke the timing cover (plastic case surround pulleys and belt). We are having trouble finding this pulley because apparently there are two types of this pulley? and the only one we can find has these pins coming out the sides and that is NOT the type we need. Also we cannot find this pulley in any parts store (besides the dealer but it comes in a kit with all the pulleys for $200 so that's a no go) and the case is no where to be found either.

My question is where can I find this pulley and the case? We have searched a salvage yard not much luck. Thanks!
