I think I'm going to order one of those 14 pc AN wrench sets. I don't believe the ones I have now are billet. And I paid the same price for 8. Definitely saved that site in favorites. Your right there prices are fantastic. Thanks for posting that site.

That site just goes to show you. Americans can build, Quality things, at a reasonable price. And still help promote, a Fantastic Sport.

I still think mine was due to the direction of the belt travel being the same direction of the tensioner to loosen the belt. (clockwise/right turn)
Just how many "trucks" were designed to run 7000-8000rpm I feel this is my issue.

If you still had the pulley between the alternator and the water pump...I think that's your problem. I had that set-up early on and it would throw the belt. Removed that pulley and got a shorter belt to change it to a v pattern and never had another problem as high as you want to spin it. This is regarding set-ups with no PS.

This is like my set-up, but I'm using the top half of the stock truck alt bracket...Crank, tensioner, waterpump, alternator, back to crank.

That's a V setup. Never had a problem with that type. Maybe too much slack in the tensioner? I ran mine tight regardless of the marks.

yessir, and the owner Alan is a great guy! i managed to catch up with him during a business trip to Kansas last summer before i changed jobs. He's got a killer turbo ls powered full sized chevy too (88-98 body style).

Doug G

Got the part, and installed in 10-20 minutes....mostly due to looking for a metric allen wrench

Looks like a quality piece. Very basic design that looks good, and billet. I'll bet that belt won't come off now.

can't beat that 2 day shipping either!

Doug G

Yes, very fast shipping. Was surprised...even have a new pulley

That belt is rubber band tight now...IF it was to come off now, I'm pretty sure its the alternator pulley. (but doubt that happens)
