THis mod works great without any issues thus far to report. The only thing like he said is if you have a bigger then stock sized sway bar, you might have to remove it. I had my stock TA 30mm swaybar and that was a tight/almost not fitting fit. but it got in there. had i installed my 35mm sways and then did this, i dont think i would have been able to fit it. Im running my stock wires. havnt seen any issues and no more pulsation 
that makes me happy

I just got done installing the kg3 alternator and the big 3 upgrade. I was then going to put the belt back on and it was way too tight. I was barely able to slide the belt over the tensioner pulley. I have a powerbond underdrive pulley and was using a 760K6 belt before the kg3 install. Which belt am I suppose to use with a underdrive pulley and kg3 alternator? The alternator came off a 04 silverado 6.0L.
