ASP pulley questions
I'm going to be placing my order for my pulleys in the next few days (crank and alt. pulley). After you guys installed the pulleys what characteristics of the truck changed? Did you notice the increased hp? More tq? Faster acceleration? Better gas mileage? etc....... Thanks

It's not like it added power ... it 'frees' power up. It just feels more responsive and a little stronger.
I'm not sure I would fork out 250 for it ... but picking mine up used it was well worth the $100 I paid!

I thought the ASP alt. pulley was smaller than stock. So you are saying all I need is the crank pulley and not to waste time with the alt. pulley?

I don't have a problem charging at idle, even with the fans running. If I got the system up, then yea, that might be a problem, but just as long as it ain't cranked at the light ... then I'll be fine. I thought the alt pulley was smaller to. If it was smaller, that should keep the alt spinning faster.
I did notice that the water pump doesn't seem like it's spinning fast enough at idle. I've noticed it will heat up when it's just sitting there. Maybe it isn't moving enough water through the engine. I will raise the idle when I get EDIT ... maybe that will cure the problem.
Oh ... I got mine used from someone off the board. It was one of those things it was to good to pass up.

The bigger alt pulley is underdrive and the smaller one is overdrive. The stock one works for me but I've got my idle turned up a bit. The underdrive pulley will not work w/ electric fans and stock idle.

I'm running the stock altenator pulley with the underdrive pulley. I have e-fans, bright *** lights, and a kciking system. The system blew a 60 amp fuse and will heat up a 90 amp fuse if I run it hard for a while, that should tell you what kind of power it pulls. I can't run the system at idle though ... it will show less than 12.5 volts on the cap. All else is fine though.
