has anyone else had a problem with their belt being eat up after installing a radix. well my belt is being shreded. it looks like the pulley on the snout of the charger is sticking out further than the rest of the pulleys. therefore its trying to walk to the edge of the stock idler pulley, and then it gets forced back onto the alt. pulley, and i think thats where its getting ripped. ive made sure the charger pulley is on all the way and is tight, and ive checked the rest of them. what should i do? should i trim the back of the charger pulley? or should i just shim the idler pulley? what have yall done?

 

How did you change the pulleys? Did you overtorque it maybe?

 

You sure you got the right pulley for the Radix? Magnuson sent me one that was not spaced correctly, it was an R&D piece that they had left over. Maybe yours is for a different application?

 

If you have the other pulley, put it back on and see if it does the same thing. Also check that both pullies seated to the same place on the snout. You wouldnt have a Nelson pulley with the built in "nut" and maybe have it on backwards?

 

That's a thought.

 

It may sound stupid, but is IS possible to put the pulley on backwards.

 

well i got the 2.9 and 2.7 pulleys from pulley boys. and i believe the 2.9 had the nut but the 2.7 doesnt. not sure. ill have to take a look. and how do you know what is backwards, whats the correct way to put these on? and overtightening the pulley would help my problem not hurt it.

 

Yep, sure is. I now have a bright red dot on the front side of mine.

 

anyone else have any suggestions on what i should do to fix this problem? also how do you know if you've got the pulley on backwards. its at the tranny shop now so i cant really inspect it. but i will be looking at it saturday.

 

if it's eating the belt it has to be on wrong....or you have the wrong pulley for your radix....
