i have aem power pulleys for ps and alt and i also have unorthodox crank pulley installed on my 2001 type SH with other mods, the belts are starting to slip ( i can here them slipping, ecp. when i turn on the air conditioner or heater) just wandering how do i tigfhten them or fix the problem and wat tools do i need?

 

i would first take off ur aftermarket crank pulley, put ur stock crank pulleyback on and then fix the slipping while ur at it. The stock harmonic dampner on the stock pulley keeps the vibreations down on the crank. People have noticed increased bearing wear the aftermarket crank pulleys.

 

Exactly do what he said

this is still debatable especially on balanced engines, although I would not put an aftermarket crank pulley on my car, it really hasnt been proven. Although the crank pulley does serve as a harmonic and torsional dampner(I'd rather make power elsewhere)

 

wat can i do w/o taking off my aftermarket pulleys?

 

get new shorter belts and adjust them. this answer seems so simple.

im with him on that... tighten up the belts and see what happen while your at it.

Just tighten the belts. It's not that hard....

 

tighten the belts, its that alternator pulley you need to take off, i had one, it would idle so low that it would start draining my battery, keep in mind i don't have alot of stereo or electronic equipment

 

thanks 4 the advice

 

This probably has nothing to do with your problem....but just for advice, if you want a sound system in your car, don't change the alt pulley. I don't know if you have a stree or show car.....:D
