Anybody running aluminum pulleys?
I'm thinking about putting on aluminum pulleys (water pump, crank, power steering). It's not a daily driver, but I will be driving it 3 to 4 days a week and maybe a road trip once a year. What do you think?

Re: Anybody running aluminum pulleys?
I am running all Billit Specialties without any issues
I would recommend buying all the pulleys from 1 manufacture - I think it helps with any potential alignment issues
