"This truck makes me poor" Build

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

i did the heads on a friends truck and they turned out really nice.
and its not that hard. just make sure u dont bunr your fingers.

just preheat the oven and dont put them inside for too long, 2 or 3 minutes will do for the gasket to release the lens. do one at the time.
and when removing the masking tape do it with plenty water so u wont peel off the chrome on the non painted parts.

Well I will probably get flamed for this but I just ordered a K&N intake and underdrive pulley from summit racing, should be here sometime next week.

Whats an underdrive pulley?

 

[chrwilkins30]

it replaces the crank pulley with a smaller one and the water pump with a bigger one to allow the motor to work less to turn the accessories.

I didn't get a water pump pulley, I only got the crank one.

did it also come with a smaller belt. or is there enough slack in the tensioner to use the original.

 

[03ranger30]

I have heard that the pulley comes with a part number for the new belt

Well today was the day I decided to put my intake and pulley on, or at least one of them. The intake went on without a hitch, but the pulley was a different story. Apparently I need to get these special tools to get the fan and shroud off, so I guess I will just have to spend more unexpected money to get that on. Anyway, on to pics of the good part of the day.

Parts in the box

Old off

New on

Nice, I thought you just needed correct size wrenches. I didn't think fan shroud had to come off... I mean belts right there

 

[03ranger30]

The fan and shroud need to come off so you can get to the bolts that hold the pulley on. I probably could have done it today but I was getting mad so just decided to stop working on it and put the intake on.

Well the wrenches for the pulley should (finally) be here tomorrow so I can put it on. Pics will follow.

Been a while since I updated this....but I finally got my underdrive pulley installed. It only took me about a month to do it.
