The Compressor Idler Pulley Assembly with OEM reference numbers 8-98114437-0 and 8-98051011-0 (also 8981144370 and 8980510110) is a verified direct-fit replacement for a wide range of ISUZU vehicles equipped with the 4JJ1 and 4JK1 engines. This pulley is a critical component of the engine's accessory drive belt system, designed to maintain proper belt tension and ensure reliable operation of the air conditioning compressor and other belt-driven accessories.
The idler pulley, also known as an intermediate pulley, serves as a guide for the drive belt, maintaining proper tension and alignment. A worn or failing idler pulley can lead to belt squeal, reduced A/C performance, overheating, and potential belt failure that could leave you stranded.
This OE-spec replacement assembly restores proper belt tension and accessory drive operation. Manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment standards, this pulley assembly delivers reliable performance under demanding operating conditions.

| Symptom | Description |
|---|---|
| Belt squeal or chirping | Noise from the drive belt area, especially on startup or under load |
| A/C compressor not engaging | Insufficient belt tension causes the A/C compressor to slip or not engage |
| Visible wear or damage | Cracks, pitting, or roughness on the pulley surface |
| Bearing noise | Grinding or rumbling sound from the pulley area |
| Belt wear or fraying | Misalignment caused by a worn idler pulley |
- Complete belt failure and loss of A/C, power steering, or alternator function
- Overheating due to water pump not being driven
- Compressor damage from belt debris
- Costly repairs and vehicle downtime
