[QUOTE="JerZeyStangz, post: 1394363, member: 8031"] I respect the wisdom ttocs. Man, the engineer in me wants to get to the bottom of this. I started looking at the second generation Steeda Pulleys and they are significantly different than the first generation. It looks like a complete redesign. I might pull the old pulleys off and sell them to a person who doesn't mind the small sacrifice in idle charging speed. First thing first is getting a new battery, then I will go from there... As a band aid the stock alternator pulley is back on which is doing an ok job but not steller like the stocker. I read your post from another mustang forum and I agree about burning out the alternator and messing up the battery in long term effects. The newer style Steeda UDP's seems like win so maybe thats why they redesigned them. I will keep updating this thread and posting results so other people know what they are getting into... [COLOR=#ffd700][B]Steeda First Gen UDP's [/B][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#ffff00]Pros: [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000] 20-30miles extra per tank Low end torque feel at lower rpms accessory drag eliminated (a/c) [/COLOR][COLOR=#ffff00]Cons:[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000] Slow charging speed Dim headlights at night at idle Possibly hurt battery (long-term) Possibly burn out alternator, lack of cooling (long-term) [/COLOR] [/B] [/QUOTE]
