Installing UD pullies any tips??
I will be installing my Steeda UD Pullies tonight on my 04 gt and was wondering if there is any tricks or helpful tips, I plan on following the How To forums here on this site to install them.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

RE: Installing UD pullies any tips??
yea one tip, send them back, for the extra what 5 horsepower you get, you get a discharging battery at idle, wtf, its not worth it, just get another mod and go about you biz, But since you already have it then put them on. In my 5.0 i had to grind down a socket for it to fit in with the new smaller crank pulley. because the pully was smaller in diameter and the holes for the bolts were close to the ring of the pulley. But on my 5.0 i still today have a discharging battery at idle. It just doesnt charge and the battery gauge just plumits. but i dont drive it nemore since i got my cobra. lol, and you better believe im not touching the pulleys on my cobra.

ChrisZio04GT, I wrote the install yourmom6990 linked to, so if you have any issues with the install, PM me. If you think talking over the phone would be helpful, I'm okay with that, too.

i have had underdrive pulleys on my car for sometime now at least 3,000 miles and my car has like 54k. I havent had one problem w/ my car. not a one. ignore that guy. you will have to pull your fan and when takin the crank pulleys off you'll need a crank puller. and only tighten it with an impact wrench otherwise it'll come loose but im sure that u already know that
