Crank Pulley - Works well and doesn't cause a huge loss in charging
capability on the electrical system (with A/C on, Windshield Wipers, Stereo,
and Headlight...don't idle for too long...but still ok).

Crank and Alternator Pulley - Race only (won't charge at idle - runs down to
10v!)

On the '97, it's easy as there's only a few bolts on the crank pulley - make
sure you have a smaller serpentine belt ready.

Hey all,
    Wanted to get some info on installing the ASP Pulley's on a 97 SLT CC
5.2L. I checked the archives, but couldn't find any real concrete data.

    1) Putting on both pulley's, will I have problems with accessories? I
ask because I run a Rockford Fosgate 800W amp, CB radio, etc. I was reading
that putting on the alternator pulley that it'll put a good drain on the
battery.

     2) How difficult is it really to do? I don't have an electric fan,
still have the clutch fan on there. Also read one e-mail that on the '97,
the water pump has rivets that get in the way??

     3) Does it sound like it's the next best upgrade for me? Check out my
mods listed below. I've thought about removing the Hyptertech PCM and going
with a custom flash, but that'll be like $450

Thanks!
Ken Allgood
