Underdrive pullies(Whats involved)

OK so come next spring i will be switching over to E-fans.At the same time i might as well do some under-drive pulleys.Can anybody tell me whats involved in doing under-drive pulleys to our generation trucks?Maybe explain it to me if you have time(i know its asking allot,but am really wanting to do this)Someone told it involves basically ripping apart the front of my engine where my stock pulleys are.Is this true?Also maybe someone can give me a link to it being done to our generation trucks would be great to.

 

I dont have a link but its not as complicated as you typed it out. Basically you would take the bolts off that hold the pulleys on, swap pulleys, put bolts back in. You will need a puller for the alt pulley. Its really quite simple

 

Wait,thats it.You sure?Then why the hell did someone tell me the whole front end has to get ripped apart.Now im really confused,lol.N if thats all it takes,damm i could do that in a afternoon and screw waiting till spring,lol.

 

Well you gotta take the fan, fan shroud, belt, and pullies but thats about it.

 

I can get you a link to show you but its not on a ford truck. Same concept tho.

 

Here is one on a 4.6

Ya thanks for the link.It is basically the same concept.N was also reading some info on it for our generation trucks.There's no ripping the whole front end off.Just the tools,some time,and a new shorter belt.Screw waiting.I'm gonna order the parts and go at her when we get back from our X-mas vacation.

Do everybody,in the next month or so,expect some under-drive pulleys.

 

When you get it done, drive over to the guy that told you otherwise, and kick him in the ass!

 

I think i will.lol.Thanks for the help man.


So again all.Underdrive pullies to come

 

OK now i am reading that adding under-drive pulleys can actually hurt my power output from the alternator.Is this true?Also the power steering can suffer also when at idle.Is all this true?Was reading on diferent forums about it.

OK ppl,need the cons to adding under-drive pulleys to my truck.Thanks all.
