Default For those of you with Steeda Underdrive Pulleys...

Please look at the water-pump pulley and let me know if it's fading from black to a whitish color. Also, let me know how long you've had them on.

I've had mine on for a coupleof months and my pulley is fading from black to white and I don't think it's acceptable - at all. If this is the case, then I don't think anyone should be buying Steeda UDPs. Let me know - thanks!!

BTW - no liquid, gases, people, etc.. have touched the pulley for it to cause any fading - ever. Thanks again.

I had mine on for almost two years and didn't have that issue.

Is it where the belt rides on the w/p pulley, maybe it skewed on the pulley and wearing the pulley and the belt. Have you checked the belt for excessive wear?

It's discoloring in places where the belt would not be able to reach, for example around the bolts and stuff. If it was around the belt then I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Yes, I can eventually but not until later. The black is fading to a whitish color. I tried wiping it off withWD40 and stuff but it doesnt come off. My performance shop said they called Steeda and Steeda said that its their "zinc primer" or some sh*t like that.They said that it happens to all Steeda pulleys but no one here is reporting that issue. I dont know what I should do now...[&o] My life is miserable.
