·What are the benefits of putting a smaller belt on the 5.9? as in skiping the ac, what will it help if ne thing? I never use it ne way i just want to know if it would be worth the hassle... :help: :drive:
That's true, but pretty much only at highway speeds. Around town you are better off with the a/c off and the windows down. What we are talking about is basically parasitic drag which is a curve and not linear. You are probaly at the break even point around 45-50 mph. That's just a guess, but I don't think that I'm too far off.NOTE: if your goal is better mpg and you do a lot of hiway driving you will get better mileage with the windows closed and the ac on than with the windows down.

only way ya get around the alt is to run a racing battery.... we kinda need it to run our ignition system...boominkota318 said:aww yea, maybe a belt around the crank pully, tensioner and waterpump only, bypass the PS, A/C, and alt
