Advice on reliability w/ a 4# lower pulley
Guys, I need your advice.
I'm considering adding a 4# pulley to my basically bone stock truck. (Only mod is a K&N panel filter, awaiting the Diablo Sport Predator) My truck is a daily driver, I'm in sales for a healthcare company and I see probably 10 to 15 different doctors a day. So, I'm starting and turning off my engine probably 10 to 15 times a day each. (Monday - Friday) I know that's not the best thing for any car, so my question is this:
Will adding a 4# pulley take away any reliability of my truck? I realize most people on this forum have pulleys on their trucks. But considering what I use my truck for, should I add the pulley or not? Or just keep it safe with the Diablo Sport Predator??
Oh, just remembered that it might be a good idea to add an FTVB for tranny reliability. Let me know your thoughts on that one too!!

You'll be fine as long as you remember not to dip too far into the boost. Ive been running mines without the chip (waiting for the Diablo Predator) for 1/2 a year. Im also in sales and use my Lightning daily. I just keep the boost under 10lbs, and knock on wood have no sign of trouble yet, well maybe just some new tires, but thats normal.
