Hi Jesse,

I am not anticipating an issue with this. The new (ribbed idler) pulley is 14mm smaller than the pulley you had in that position when you had a slipping issue ... and more to the point, your alternator's momentum has been reduced by MORE than 15% (by virtue of 15% slower speed AND slightly less rotating mass) AND it now has 15% more belt wrap.

Cheers,
Chris
