Posted August 23, 201114 yr Mechman now has Billet Aluminum Overdrive Pulleys!48mm, 4, 5, 6 and 9 rib available. Natural finish, CNC machined, $49 + shipping. Email [email protected] for details.
August 29, 201114 yr Sweet.If I put this on a 01 Ford F-250 7.3, how much would it change my alternator RPM by?Also, pictures would be nice.
September 18, 201113 yr What are the benefits of using one of these? Right now I'm 50 RPM shy from charging at idle, would this allow me to charge at idle? Are these something we can install ourselves, for example, take off the old pulley and put this one on with no modifications?
September 19, 201113 yr Author RPM related issues can be corrected if this will get the rotor speed high enough.With the diameter of your crank pulley and the diameter of your existing pulley I can determine what your rotor speed is and how much it will change.
September 19, 201113 yr Can I find the crank pulley diameter online? And the pulley that is currently on my alternator has 2 extra ribs on it than how many my belt has. Matt was thinking it was just a standard pulley you guys put on.
September 20, 201113 yr Author You may be able to search the pulley diameter online to get your OEM crank pulley diameter.

September 20, 201113 yr Author A belt too small will cause problems for sure. They also need to be TIGHT as the alternator produces way more power at low speeds than the OEM and that's when slip will occur. I can go down to a 48mm pulley but that will only make a slip issue worse.That's the alternator pulley diameter, I need the crank pulley diameter to determine the rotor speed.

September 22, 201113 yr Author Searchable, yes. It may take some doing, but it is available on the internet.
September 23, 201113 yr After searching over an hour on the internet, no dice, so I'm going to use my step-dads tool to measure it. What part am i supposed to measure, the outer diameter including the belt or the part the belt sits on?
September 23, 201113 yr just measure down the middle of the crankshaft pulley, thats pretty much the largest one in there. mine for example is around 7 1/2 inches wide.

September 23, 201113 yr Author Unfortunately that link does not have the crank pulley diameter.EDIT- Just got your email, Kyle says 5.33" or 5.66" (135.382mm or 143.764mm)The 135.4mm w/ 55mm alt pulley gives you a 2.46 pulley ratio.The 143.8mm w/ 55mm alt pulley gives you a 2.61 pulley ratio.The 135.4mm w/ our 48mm pulley gives you a 2.82 pulley ratio.The 143.8mm w/ our 48mm pulley gives you a 2.99 pulley ratio.Unless you plan on exceeding 7000rpm you should have no problem with the smaller diameter alternator pulley.

I'm about 50 RPMs short of charging at idle right now.
September 23, 201113 yr If you are just under the turn-on speed this should get you there.Okay, and I thought about it, I have the right serpentine belt because it fit my stock alts pulley perfectly. My current one has it appears 2 extra notches, I can put the belt to the left, right, or middle. Will this new pulley make it fit perfectly again? And should I order by phone?
September 23, 201113 yr Author The belt will function properly when installed on the ribs closest to the unit as per the instructions. The billet aluminum pulley will also be a 9-rib for your application. You can order by emailing me your shipping information and sending the money via Paypal or by calling on the phone.
