pulleys

[jj_jonathon]

You know, just today I asked my ford dealership if U/D pullies would play with the warranty...they told me yes and no. The fact is, if you put on a set of pullies and (this was his example) blow a power steering pump because youre spinning it too fast, then warranty wont cover it, but if the pullies do no damage, and he'd never heard of a car having problems from them, and you bring in the car for warranrty work, they'll overlook them...so if they dont directly cause a problem, youre in the clear....so dont buy a crappy brand and make sure you know the dealership rather well...i know the guy down there and he wouldnt overlook a warranty problem for me, but he'll look the other way fro small unimportant things...

honestly, of the dozens of people ive heard of using them, this thread has the first bad experience i've ever heard...

i have an 02GT, and after talking with the technician today, im gunna buy a set of steeda pullies...

QUESTION: My GT was made in May of 2002. Do I have the new or old water pump? I don't have most of the improvements that the later 02s have (injectors, headrests), so would I still have the older water pump or do I have the newer one, or how do I find out before I get the pullies. ?? I'd also appreciate the "how-to install" on them...and any tools i'll need...
