Pulleys are not going to make you need to tune anything. I'm ordered mine through RPMoutlet. Their brand is motoblue, and i have heard nothing but good things about them.

What did you pay at your dealer and how much cheaper can they be found online?

Has anyone had any problems with the underdrive pulleys...like charging or cooling problems?

I have a set of MotoBlues that have 18k miles on them if anyone is interested. It comes with the UD pulley, idler and water pump. You will need to buy a new crank bolt from Ford ($6).

I will sell for $90 and you pay for shipping - actual cost, or if you happen to be local Apex NC. Just went from a 2007 to 2008 and not putting them back on as I may SC

no damage what so ever on the engine, and have never heard anything negative from them, from the cooling or charging, only the fact that it allows the engine to rev faster...

I recommend either Roush, Steeda or FRPP (all the EXACT same, just different box)

Motoblue come with a different idler pulley, which im not sure about...
But the Steeda have just two, not three pulleys, and have different bolts for clearance, Motoblue reuse all bolts.

Either will work...but Motoblue are not as popular...

this was the first thing I did...and well worth it

Thanks For the Info! I think I might give some Steeda's a try, they seem to be the best choice from what i've read in magazines and seen here.
