111570, AFX UDP, any problems? Posted by Grashper, Oct-19-01 05:14 AM
I would like to know if anybody with the AFX or other name brand UDP, has had any problems related to having this mod. I've read about those having the squeaky belts, but what about problems with the electrical or anything like that. Any drained batteries or those with your boomen systems had any problems? Thanx

I have had mine on for about 6 months or so. No power problems but now my belts are starting to squeek. My "performance shop" said that it was my idler pulley. When I took my car to satan for the ball joint recall, they said it was just the belts. They charged me $40 for a belt tightening and it worked for a day. Then the squeeking came back. It comes and goes, so I am just going to deal with it. But the performance gain is worth the slight squeeking. IMO.

my a/c and ps belt fell off all the time whenever I'd hit it above 6k rpms. squeaked too. I took off that belt and bought one that was about an inch and a half shorter. I can tighten down the tensioner now, and it doesn't squeak anymore....or fall off:D

So koolade9, what are the specs on that belt and where did you get it at? So obviously the belts that came with the UDP,were in your case, not small enuf?
