Doesn't sound like a DSM, didn't you change from stock pulleys?

Yes as other people seem to be running them without issues. They are metal vs. plastic. The plastic OEM ones are known to wear out in 30k miles or so and break off bits and snap belts.

I tried being proactive and changing them while the motor was out...it backfired.

DSM's don't have problems? I know my car does.

All cars can have problems, esp. if a person is changing something on them. Usually the risk of problems can usually go up.
Its just annoying people can't do things correctly and blame it on the car.

That's nuts they use plastic OEM, where do you get metal ones? some company made them? are they lightweight or overdrive?

Good thing being proactive, it could save you from being stuck on teh side of the road.
