Post The effect of underdrive pulleys on engine life
When the topic of underdrive pulleys gets brought up, someone is usually quick to point out that they will make the engine wear prematurely.

Here is something I found about this. This guy installs and gives a review of underdrive pulleys. Read at the bottom where it says "Update- READ!!!"

Just thought it might help someone out. Pulleys haven't been brought up here in a while.

It will not have the same effect but the accessory pulleys does nothing for your car. Thanks for the info update IronFist
