[QUOTE="01cobravortech, post: 6252851, member: 14885"] Josh I guarantee you that alternator speed is not identical in rpms to the stock configuration. Thats where people make the mistake. They take a smaller pulley and belt and equate that to the pulleys spinning at the same rpm with the stock configuration and that just isn't the case. Those few rpms that it over spins could very well be whats leading to a lower life. Its conjecture at this point but a hypothesis that makes sense nonetheless. Look at what happens when you alter the size of the lower pulley? Belt size changes as well and so does the rpm speed on the alternator. The lower pulley is just another pulley being changed in diameter. Even when you add a bigger alternator pulley you aren't spinning the alternator at PRECISELY the same speed on the stock pulley setup. Thats the only point I'm trying to make here. :beer: [/QUOTE]
