Help! Loud noise from a pulley...
well I just noticed this loud sound seems like it's from the pulley on the left side of motor. it is below freezing outside now, not sure if that's a variable.
what if this pulley, any tips or help on what to do?

To be safe, you should take a close look at the front of your supercharger pulley and see if one of the springs has broken (before you run the engine any more).
happy holidays,

relative to what to do if it is the front 8-rib idler, the bearing is replaceable (less than $10 last time I bought one) however, sometimes there is play in the bearing housing (that replacing the bearing does not solve completely) so a replacement may be in order.
here is a thread with that covers this pulley

I only mentioned checking your SC pulley springs as the sound in the video sounds more like a slapping sound than a bearing sound to me.
hope that helps,
Chris
