Default underdrive pulleys

Has anyone install any drive pulley on their truck and was woundering if anyone had any problems with them? Also my friend had some on his camaro and his volt meter on his gauge cluster kept reading low? Any answers to that?

he needs to get an overdrive pulley for the alternator to complement it....will solve your low voltage

Im actually in the process of trying this myself... im ordering mine from summit racing and i'll check back here and let you know how it goes. I have a pretty good sized cam for the motor that pulls plenty of vacumm so it'd be a good testimate to how it performs with a cam setup.

Another thing to help with the voltage is upgrading the size of the wire from the battery jumpers to the back of the alternator.. that signifigantly increases voltage pickup incase of a drop off.

summit racing usually has a "suggested parts" list in with parts like these to tell you exactly what you need.

If you are using BOTH the alt and crank underdrive pullies from ASP, summit states on their website to use the 90.00 Inch 6 rib gator belts and the a/c belt is the 34.25 Inch 4 rib gator.

(this is assuming that they havent changed the pulley setup since 2002)
