http://www.ramforum.com/f44/ati_15%25_underdrive_pulley-60796/#post957668Saw all the model #’s for the 13+ belts but no model for the 09-12 77.5” belt. Anyone have those model numbers off hand?
Good advice, Matt.I ran an ATI 15% underdrive on my 03 Hemi for 3 years without any trouble, and it has been on my 2011 crew cab now for about 4-5 months. Havent seen any charging issues, and I do have an aftermarket stereo on the 2011.
This mod is not for the lifted work trucks with auxilary lighting and high electrical draw. Its for the guys that are going to the track or racing around the street that want to squeeze out every last HP they can get.
View attachment 165814 View attachment 165813 Installed it on Thursday. Kind of a pain but not terrible. Now I’m completely full bolt on and cammed.

Zero cons; all pros.So...I ordered this from Moe's earlier. Called my mechanic to see what he would charge to install (I work 60 hours a week and live south of Houston, really don't want to use half a weekend to do it in 95+ degree heat). Basically told me not to do it and that he would rather not install it. Said if I was putting it in a race or stock car he could see doing it, but for my DD it is not worth it and would affect my A/C, alternator, etc. He recommended putting in Kook's long tube headers instead. (I already have a Vararam, Moes ported throttle body, 180 tstat, moes catch can, and Carven Muffler on my truck.) I skimmed through this thread and did not see anything negative posted. But I wanted to get you guys thoughts, experiences, stories, pros or cons, etc. with these pulleys since I may end up selling the pulley and putting the $$$ towards headers. Thanks in advance.
I hate being that guy but... I’m researching doing the damper and realize that ati offers a 15 UD and a 6% OD. I’m not interested in the underdrive. My truck gets used off-road. Have plans to add a winch. Already have done off-road lights going in. I’m running an older s&b intake and a Borla catback exhaust. Plans are to do a cam and long tubes with catted y pipe. Tossing around the idea of a 6.4 manifold swap and a aev snorkel. Any reason a 6% OD is good or bad for a truck with my setup? I realize it turns everything faster but at the same time weighs less than the stock balancer. Would I see any benefits from the water pump turning faster? I am running the v6 fan with ags delete as well as a 190 tstat that I’m planning on swapping back to a 180 soon.
