[bepianoful]

black stripes, with wenzler tunnel ram soon to be running.....Tim

goodbye water pump and alternator bearings

How did you get it to not have that high pitched sound? I have his 2'' cog belt, and I have loosened it up as much as possible, and I still get that high pitch noise coming from it. Any suggestions? Did you do anything specific?

[hwy80boie]

@vanmelum i heard if u drill a couple holes around the pulleys itll drop the sound cuz its caused by air sucking in between the belt and pulleys

[chuck2585]

where did you get the cog kit at?

[JayandJenn07]

Hell Yeah man ;o) i like it... im gunna do this on my muddin SWB 82' chevy.

[billybadazz11]

does the brand of those have a website?

[basketofkittens]

Why on earth would you do this? I can't think of a single reason why driving an alternator and water pump with a 2" cogged belt is a good idea.

ZERO SLIP and it looks COOL!!!!

[smellmyfartgas]

makes sense to me....

[fox924]

Im with you on that one.lol

[Rob3331996]

@billetr x2, i bet you don't have to worry about slinging this belt off!!... it always sucks when your on the street with a decent hotrod and you sling the belt after a burnout or making a pass..

[mydejavooo1]

@bushelbasketofkittens......it­'s an underdrive crank pulley, so you are freeing up horsepower....as mentioned, there is no slip....no belt squeal....and it sounds sooooo sweet! With the Gilmer belt drive you get just a little blower-like sound to boot!! Just curious, but why do you think it's NOT a good idea??

[Frylok1177]

@basketofkittens No belt slip or squeeeeeeeeeel! and racing at high RPM's it isnt going to slip.

[mikesbbody]

@basketofkittens I know you posted over 2 years ago but, I'm into Mopars and every Mopar I have seen has the same belt set up but with a regular V belt driving the Water Pump and Alternator) does this mean they are all wrong? or do you just not like the idea of the Gilmer belt drive...

[changwang123456789]

Any issues with the pulley system you have, I'm looking to put a similar system on my 396?

[billetr]

It would work great on your 396.

[campaug]

[billetr]
