Can't really crawl under the truck right now to see what it says. But if I remember right it should be SFI Approved?

I was thinking more along the lines of what the mod could do for the longevity of other components in the truck (possibly by reducing wear and tear). For instance, I have seen claims that u-drive pulleys might extend the life of water pump bearings since the pump is spinning somewhat more slowly. I suspect this benefit is pretty small, but maybe it's worth noting (and I don't really know how you back up such a claim).

But, I like the label that the device has met certain minimum requirements and so should be safe to use. Kind of like the UL sticker on electrical equipment.
