What's the build date on the side of the drivers door. Also look at water pump (middle) pullie. If it's an outward it's an early, if it's an inward then it's a later.

If it's an early 2001, I have a set of Steeda UDP's that I can sell you. I am getting a s/c and can't use them. They have been on my car for a week. PM if interested.

Because that doesn't work, I've seen it happen before, a 01 with build of 10/01 had pre 01's on it.

Cant you tell by the tranny number inside your door. If its a T-5 its early, and if its the 3650 its late model '01.

Because a lot of cars were built the previous year.

My 2000 was built in October of 99 as a 2000 model year car.

I had trouble with my Steeda UPD's. I ordered for my 2002 GT and they sent parts that were supposed to fit. Apparently there was more than one size/style in 2002 and/or 2001. If I remember correctly, I sent one pully back (the crank pulley I think) and they sent me a 2001 pulley which worked on my 2002 GT?!?!?!?!?! I drove around for a while with only 2/3 of my pullies installed. Once I received the 3rd replacement pully, I installed it which required a new/different sized serp belt. Not much trouble. Worth the effort on a 2002 GT. Just order what you think you need and stare and compare once you get the parts b4 you start the project!
