Tomorrow is pulley day...

[DamnYankee]

Not big news, but looks like aslow night on here. I guess all the young guys are out partyin it up on a Friday. All that's left is us old guys (hi Greg).

Anyway, tomorrow the ASP underdrive pulleys go in. Not sure that I'll notice much of a difference but it gives me one more thing to add to my sig. woo hoo.

I liked it bc it allowed the engine to rev a little quicker.

Come on slowpoke. Mine have been done for over a week now.

Just got mine a few days ago. Eric sent mine same time as yours but they apparently shot mine out of a cannon to India to be inspected, who in turn tied it to a milk jug and floated it across the Pacific where it landed in NY where my brother was fortunate enough to find it and he sent it the rest of the way.

I just got the AC belt - I'm hoping they cross-referenced it correctly. They gave me a 040335. Anyone know if that's correct?

[RedHeartbeat]

That's for the a/c belt. The last three numbers in the length. 04 = 4 ribs and 335 is 33.5" long. My engine belt had to be 2.5" shorter than stock to work with the fbody pulleys.

Why didn't you get the crank and alt. pulleys? Do they not make them for 03-07 Classic? I gained a good amount of torque to the wheels with those things... Make sure that you have an air wrench...or risk damaging your crank pulley by sticking a screwdriver in there to stop the belt from turning... The air wrench sure makes it easy...

The swap was pretty simple. Stripped the crank bolt getting it out (or it was stripped somehow before) but all-in-all not too hard. Virgil had another crank bolt so we used that. Can't really say as of yet that I feel anything. I'm kind of disgruntled with my truck at the moment anyway (see post in street section).

So...whatever to it all. I wish I could start over.

Damn dude, sorry to hear that you didn&#39;t feel anything. Which pulley(s) did you put on? Crank and the alt? Did you have any issues with the new belt size? And since you stripped the crank bolt, I am assuming you put a new one in (cause you should do that anyway). If you need one, I have an extra one laying around And sorry for my previous retard post. I didn&#39;t read your other post correctly and replied with one of the dumbest questions...

Yeah - didn&#39;t feel anything, but I believe it&#39;s usually only a 8hp (±) gain to the wheels anyway, so no big surprise there. Then again, I didn&#39;t expect much, that&#39;s why it&#39;s one of the last mods I did. I just put the crank pulley on, still have the alternator pulley, but haven&#39;t had any issues so far.

The crank bolt we took out was new....just put in on the last cam swap.

I may be swapping converters to see if that helps cure my frustration.

I am not sure if it was the fact that I did the crank and the alt pulley, but not to keep on rubbing this in, but I did feel a pretty noticeable gain...



Your 2600 should be fine with what you have currently. The next step up I would recommend (and which you already know) is the 3000. It might cut into your gas mileage a little, but it should cure what ales you (and your truck)...
