. I am not a point man on this, I am just saying, Nubee read this and other
projects, and think they have to do it.

I think the history of these changes is interesting --- for example, we have
not had one person come forward to say they have had it for years and
worked just fine...

I know there were problems with AC compressors ( on almost all of them),
don't know why they failed, but when they did, the serpentine made it
impossible to go on with out a new pump, ( the old system, just cut the
belt.)

1 I agree with Manny,. do it because you can (he dumped his serpentine, now
he is doing a 4cyl Dsl ;>)

2 don't see it as an upgrade(no improvement )

3 I have no problems with the OEM system

4 I am just interested in hearing the history of almost all of the mods.

5 Our Alternator is just excellent, and very inexpensive


just asking questions, not making trouble
