hey i tried to put this bad boy on but couldn't so i took it to my mechanic. He tried and finally got it on with the 3 jaw 5 ton puller. But heres the problem, he used to work on winston cup race engines that have a big pulley for the altenator and a small one for the power steering and said that pulley may kill the alternator quickly now that its moving a couple times faster than it was normally. So i was wondering if this is a problem with our 420a engine or am i just too paranoid. Since a lot of people have had this for a while i believe it should be fine. Yeah and i really don't want to buy altenators left and right everytime i drive my car that i love so much.

you'll be fine. it actually spins the alternator slower. meaning elss power to your accesories but you'll be fine. just don't run your sterio with the car off
Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related. Step 1: Put down everything in your hands. Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it. Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you. If not. Go here: here
If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

Like ^^^^^^^^ said, you'll be just fine, however if you are really concerned about the alternator you can buy a larger alt pulley. Many guys who have large systems do this to make up for the loss of power to the accessories. It should spare the alternator.

It will be fine. I runs slower, not faster. We have tested them with up to a 1200watt system with no charging problems.
