I run a 20% underdrive pulley from summit. It is a very nice piece and makes a noticeable difference from a stock size pulley. It is a fairly easy mod that gives nice gains and installs very quickly and easily.

Thank you sir

Just remember, if you do this:

Your alternator puts out 20% less current. If you have a 130 amp, now you have a 104 amp

Your AC condenser is running 20% less

Your Power Steering pump is 20% less

Water Pump is 20% less, and the cooling system is very important on a 4.7 lol


Does that small gain seem worth this?

Don't let him scare you off. Theoretically those things could all be problems but reality is that I and many other guys run them with none of those problems.

I just ordered the ATI only bc i want something that is well known. I have read a lot of bad reviews on the ASP so i went with the ATI. Also the ATI is actually a smaller damper with a 25% UD pulley where the ASP is a regular sized damper with an UD pulley. Yes you will lose a percentage of your other accessories but they also make an OD pulley for the alt. Although if i see any change in voltage im going to add the Durango 160 amp alt. IMO
