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.

I also am thinking of the underdrive pulleys, and the Efans as well, is there anyone that has done both? If i go through Troyer Performance it will cost about $700 for my 05 5.4 F-150 if i get both. So if i got just one which would be the best gains for the money? the fans are around $430 and the pulleys with the belt are about $260. Or if there are any improvements in that price range let me know! Thanks
