Gene,
I am in agreement with your comments.
Due to several somewhat logical reasons/comments of my own, I feel that a
simple, well thought out serpentine upgrade could yield some very good
advantages.
Here are my comments regarding why I am interested in doing the serpentine
upgrade:
1) Because I can!
2) Upgrading to a recent model alternator increases chances of finding one
in stock at the only parts store for 100 miles. This also applies to the
belts, A/C Compressor, and PS pump.
3) I have no problems with the OEM system if it is in perfect order. Mine
isn't. I have a bent PS pump pulley, a broken PS pump bracket, and My A/C
compressor is toast. My Alternator works, but looks to have served over 15
years of service. As you can see, I need to replace quite a few parts.
Buying from the men's mall is the lowest cost solution, but OEM compatible
parts are impossible to find locally. Upgrading to readily available newer
components makes sense from a cost and availability point of view.
4) I also really want to hear from the people that have "been there, done
that".
5) I am a relative newbie, and I appreciate being able to reap the benefits
of everyone's hard learned lessons and ideas. I do feel that any new project
or idea needs to be thoroughly evaluated before taking the plunge. This is
why so many of us ask questions, and why so many more of you are happy to
answer them. This group of GMC owners is one of the best online groups I've
had the pleasure of communicating with.
(not wanting to make trouble, just trying to stir up the thinking process
for the rest of you out there)
Thanks,
Les Burt
