stay away from the JDM unit. The nut stripped clean when the mechanic tried to remove it. JDM charged $68 for a new hub and get this: $75 labor to swap it...

Get a cheaper and easier to remove version...

Go metco pullies they seem to be the best,interchangeable 2, 4, & 6 pound. really trick.and looks good on mine.

 

JLP is the only way for me. Makes the fastest HD's around.



Sorry to hear that ken. So did you put a 8lb on?

 

i guess thats why i went 7.78 through the 1/8 mile but i guess pulley types don't matter.

 

Not the 8lb, yet. I had a JLP 6 to replace the JDM because I was afraid it might get stuck... Somehow sue and I crossed wires and I got the wrong pulley. So... my truck was on the rack and no pulley, so I had to buy one local. I had LFP courier me one over to the shop and had that put on. It's kind of neat cause it is interchangeble but doesn't use a hub. JL was great on all of the stuff and the pulley I had was very light and very simple to install.

I'm hoping now that I can get that 9.4" lower pulley, but I don't know if I want to spend 350 for a one off...

The thing that makes me mad about JDM is that I called and they told me $40 for the hub assmebly. When I called back to complain, they said it "starts" at $40 to replace the hub. Starts at? It's a replacement! You are either replacing it or not. It's a binary decsion. There is no variability in the word replace. Then to charge an hour labor to fix a KNOWN problem with their part? That is **** poor customer service.

I have spent quite a bit of money at JDM and to screw me over for $97 bucks is truly, amazingly stupid and arrogant.

I am done with JDM. won't be buying anything from them -- period. So, going forward, don't expect to see me support anything JDM.

Since I wanted one of those intercooler heat exhangers, I will have to find out who made it for them and see if I can get one some other way. I won't give that con artist another nickel.

I am Glad everything got worked out ken. I hate when a vendor thinks its his way or the high way.

A- Dog what do you run on motor ?

And do you have any full 1/4 mile times (on motor)?

 

nevermind

 

 

A-Dog, don't you work for Metco??? I can see why you think they are the best....I have two JLP pulley's, but I am sure Mark at LFP puts out a quality product, so you didn't go wrong Ken.

 

Hey, GT, I was commenting on his post saying it was juice, but then realized by your (motor) post that you knew that already....

I just edited it out.


Ken

 

uh-oh.....think this is gonna be a long one



sorry to hear about the troubles ken

 

Just didn't want you to think I was trashing you thread.

A-rod works at a tuner, so his opinion is somewhat biasied.
I was just going to make that clear.(Someone else noticed that too. )
Let alone the NAWZZZ.

I wonder what I would run with Slicks, 50 shot, and traction bars.

Only .27 faster ? I think Not.

 

Ken--Don't hold back Bro, tell us how you really feel ...

 

JDM has had new hubs since last summer that are huge, octogon shaped so you will never strip it out. Buy whatever you like but I prefer to have the bearing support on my truck
