Underdrive Pulleys

I'm trying to find a damn set of underdrive pulleys but not ones that need a new belt...I just spend 60$ on a new belt and dont feel like buying another one.Anyone have any suggestions

The motor is a 3.1 V-6

that makes no sense, the point of getting underdrive pullys is for them to be smaller or larger.

$60 on a belt????


Tou could always CAD them up & give plans to a machine shop to fab.

But I went thru about 6 belts whenI had the 3.4 to find the right size, and only 2 for the 3800. Always keep receipts, and teh belt that fits is always teh most expensive

project, if he got a goodyear gatorback, them are about 45 a belt for me. If he lives in a higher cost of living area, I could see them being almost 60.

You guys need to drop those parasitic serpentine systems. Those belts get expensive. I like my 6$ V belts, only have two, and if oe snaps, the other takes its place (they both connect to water pump and alt.)

The underdrive smallers are a tad lighter. I dont know of any OTC ones that are stock size, just lighter.

Order the pully whenever, and when you need a new belt get the smaller and install at same time.
