can you tell any difference in power with the new pulley?

 

[03ranger30]

I can defiantly tell that its got more power, as for the gas mileage I'll have to wait until i fill up next week to tell.

 

[Musick17]

I dont know a dang thing about the pulleys. Are they said to give you better or worse gas mileage?

 

[03ranger30]

They are supposed to give you more power and better fuel economy because it lessens the amount of power that is used to drive the accessories (AC, PS and what not).

 

[Musick17]

sounds like a pretty good deal then. I only did a quick google search but didnt see one for the 2.3L thought

 

[03ranger30]

Well I rolled over 50k the other day, here's to another 150

you're only hoping for 200,000? really...?

 

[03ranger30]

Well I'm hoping for a little more than that, I'm probably gonna keep this thing forever.

 

[Musick17]

keep it til it quits. then.... put a v8 in it and wheel the piss out of it!

 

[03ranger30]

I'll drop a v8 in it and send it down the drag strip

I realized I didn't need to remove the fan at all....

Well it has been a while since updating this, but nothing that exciting has happened. Changed the oil a couple weeks ago with some synthetic (gotta treat my girl right). Money is tight so I am not expecting to much for a little while, at least until Christmas. Plan on cranking the t-bars and getting some 31s put on Soft 8s in the spring.

On a side note, I raced it at the local strip back in October, best time was 16.7 @ 77. Not to back for a 150 horsepower truck.

Also forgot to put that I got a new battery put in the other week, old one crapped out and had to get jumped, and boy was that fun...

Nice lookin truck dude. I've been looking for other Edge owners on here to get and share some ideas. A few questions for ya.

Did the air intake give you any noticeable power? I have an 01 reg cab edge. I just threw 31's on and am quite slow on takeoffs. I figured an intake might help out but I'm not really sure.

How about those crank pulleys? Did they help out your fuel economy?

And keep us updated!
