I had an alt. pulley on my truck, and while it may have freed a couple
HP, it caused serious charging issues and killed batteries. I'd just do
a crank pulley and no alt. pulley if I was you.

I can't speak from experience (yet), cause I haven't added this to my
05 Dak yet, but from my research it does seem to help. I've been
looking at http://www.rpmoutlet.com/dodgedasp.htm , but I know that
SoCalDakota also sells them -
