  • ?'s about Pulleys

    Anyone having any issues with cooling or charging while using pulleys?
    Also, I read somewhere that running an electric waterpump would be better than using the pulleys alone, any truth to this?
    Thanks

    I noticed that my power windows are so slow to open and close with the pulleys

      i guess an electric would be best, to take the hindrance away from the mechanical crankrod.
      but electric it has to convert from mechan to electric to mechan i think

      i thought underdrive pulleys were to free up mechanical drag will maintaining electrical power.?

I'd say that the motors are going, and the timing was just uncanny. Or, the drop is accelerating the problem. (Our w/m's die or slow from lack of voltage to the motor)

          If you see them start to "skip" or work intermittantly, it's time to yank them and remove the safety strip. (If you don't have children or pets that ride with you)

            no this just happened when I installed the pulleys,because when the car is idling the voltage sure drops down

              The voltage should drop down if you are using underdrive for the alternator. Underdrive uses less force so it frees up the motor, I haven't ever heard of it dropping that low that it wants to kill the car.
