Yeah, saving money is more important in times like these. Haha, I'm so tight on cash right now I've found ways to eat lunch or dinner for less than $3 each...and its with REAL food because I DO NOT skip meals. :eat:

I've got underdrive pulleys next on my list aswell. I'm just waiting for the gryphon to pay itself off a little more and for some decent cash flow to come my way.

does anybody know if the underdrive pulleys will hurt or help the Gas mileage. because i dont want them if its going to hurt. I dont see how it would but just wondering.

Longshot you are going to have to explain how you get meals for less then 3 dollars because i like to eat and save money. I also dont skip meals.

For the underdrive pulleys give 88Racing a shout. He installed a set on his not too long ago. I think his assesment was no change in mileage, minor gains in performance (considering the estimated 14 horses are at WOT) but a little bit quicker throttle response.

Well I guess I can share my little secret since your far enough away to not upset the balance of nature. :lol: For lunch I go get a sandwich at the local HEB which is $2.15 for a 6 inch sub and bring my own drink and side dish if I dont feel like getting a $.25 coke. I get it at about 7 am on my way to school so I am guranteed the pick of the sandwich crop...the early bird doesn't only get the worm but also the biggest, meatiest, yummiest worm. :D
I also do ALOT of cooking myself and that really cuts down on food expenses, plus I live on a river and I have connections for other kinds of meat. Make fun of me all you want but I can make a shad (yes, that ugly little fish you stick on a hook) taste as good as farm raised catfish, but our shad are also 14+ inches and I get them with a bow, spear or cast net. :cool:

Put it this way.
My truck had alot more balls in stock minus the shifting after I put them on.
As far as mpg increases? A wee bit better .1 to .4 mpgs.



Cheers!:)

Thanks, 88racing. so do you think they were worth the money. as far as the MPG every little bit helps expecially when you have a 35 gal. tank like me.

a couple more question about the pulleys did you do the install yourself.
-was it hard
-how long did it take

Scale 1-10
4 for difficlty.
Was it hard?
With impact tools it was easy.
With hand tools a bit more difficult.
You need to know how to use the fan wrenches to remove the fan clutch assembly. I just used my air chisle.
You need an harmonic balancer puller kit also.
Hardest part was getting the fan shroud in and out.
Time taken?
Approx 40-50 min. That was second attempt.

Thank you sir.

So overall did you think the underdrive pulley system was worth the money. When it was all said and done. also im going to have somebody put them on i dont have any of those fancy tools you mentioned

They definately gave my truck some more pep.
Then you combine them with custom tunes and it helps a little bit more.
The one thing I forgot to mention is that I do feel more of the a/c compressor when it kicks on+off.
You can get a balance puller and the fan removal tool at a parts store like autozone for free or for a rental fee.
But I can also understand not doing this mod also it can seem somewhat intimidating at least it was after my first attempt.
Take care.
