Nice, how did the UDP install go? I've been thinking of installing mine this weekend but taco bill's write includes a lot of special tools that I don't have, I just have a basic tool kit and a gear puller. Would that be enough?

The pulley install was easy if you have the right stuff.
You will need a 18mm Socket and a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar or a tough ratchet, and a long pipe for the end of it. Also pick up a pulley puller, not the real long one just a regular three arm puller, the factory balancer has flanges cast directly into it for the arms to pull against. The Factory Pulley does not have the threaded holes to use a standard bolt style pull. You need a three arm style. I think I spent 30 bucks on mine.
So once you loosen the bolt, you just pull the old off, put some sealer on the new keyway, follow torque specs for the install, and away ya go........don't forget to change the Alternator bracket bolt either, then just reinstall the belt and your off to the races. Total install time took me about 2 hours and 30 minutes to find an 18mm socket.
If you have an impact gun that can remove the bolt as well, my compressor tank was not large enough to support the impact from breaking it loose.
Really pretty easy, not as easy as the CMCV plate install, but not as hard as you think
