I THINK 88Racing did, about a year or more ago. He posted in here about it. You can probably find it if you do a search.

yep did the pulleys.....you'll need a fan removal tool set and a harmonic balance puller and an impact for the harmonic balancer bolt........it took about an hour but I had a tech and a full shop at my disposal....

Did you have any voltage drop issues after installing the pulleys? How happy have you been with them?
I'm thinking about doing those along with the Troyer e-fan

I had a buddy do the pulleys at his shop, best money i spent. noticed a bit of low end power, wouldn't say more power just more get up and go. just need to know how much to turn up engine idle. Troyer says 850 rpm so i went in and raised it 250 rpm in the engine idle in the custom tunes. can anyone confirm this is correct please :help:

That sounds about right.......700-850 rpm idle
In the end I just used an overdrive pulley on the alternator....

It is the opposite of an underdrive pulley. Rather than make the alternator shaft spin slower (reducing load) it makes it spin faster. It basically cancels out the underdrive pulley kit's effect on the alternator so no adjustment will be needed.

does it have and affect to the underdrive pulleys, as in power, or just fix the alternator issue

You'll just have to understand.....that my truck being a lariat had a lot of electric extras on it both stock and some that I added.....I was one to let my truck idle in the winter also....ya I know that's bad.....but increasing the idle hurt the fuel consumption.....so I got myself one of those overdrive puppies and lowered the idle....I do still have one blank one that was going to get the back machined to match the one I gave back but that never happened.....
