Lenzi is not making his idler arms for the forseeable future. What's the next best alternative? Can a machine shop duplicate Dave's mods from his description, or should I just go with the stock rubber version?

Bill,
I'd say that a machine shop would need a drawing of Dave's idler arms; a description probably wouldn't suffice.

Dave's unit is a great unit, but some of the GMC shops have not seen that
much advantage in using a rigid unit.
The standard idler unit has served our customers well.
