Nice. It doesn't seem to have had much effect on ground clearance.

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

The simple solution was to use a shorter belt for the power steering, the one for non-a/c trucks -
"part number 4PK850 micro-V multi-ribbed belf"
this bypasses the aircon compressor
it's a nice cheap fix as it doesn't foul and the busted AC pump can stay where it is,


thought some may find this interesting ... :huh:

since getting the truck over 5 years ago and fitting ATs, back box etc, the best fuel consumption I could achieve was 28 mpg

however, the last several months have been really bad, returning only 26 mpg :(

now with the shorter belt totally bypassing the aircon compressor/pump, I'm getting nearly 31 mpg :woohoo:

maybe a coincidence but I don't believe in such things :lol:

I was thinking the same thing it must sap power especially if its no longer turning freely like mine which had practically seized solid.
