The 3g I got came with a huge pulley. Car wouldn't charge at all. My stock pulley was actually very small and may not have been original now that I think about it. It was way to clean and very small in diameter. Sorry for the confusion but I do still think you need a smaller pulley. Where to get it is another story...maybe picknpull or someone on the board might have one laying around. I'll check my old box of parts when I get home. If I find one I'll just give it to you.<br /><br />Good luck! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>NOTCH-FOX</b> <br /><small>Member # 8636</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,2,20,0,17,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> koo, thanks a lot, every help is appreciated. hopefully the pulley is the problem, cuz i jus installed an electric fan on it too and would hate to put the stock one back on. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
