Please update on JDM interchangeable pulley probs

hmmm
There was some issues with the "old" style caged pulley from JDM, and Jim will tell you that himself.
Working with two trucks in the driveway, i've had the new style off and on with no problems. I had more trouble getting my stocker off, at the time, both trucks had under 10k miles.
***NOTE*** Be sure to cover the threads 100% with neverseize when instaling, don't just slap some on one side.
I think if anyone has had problems with the new design, it's really caused by two things.....no applying a uniform coat of anti seize, and not using the right tools. Actually, i'll put in a third.....no loosening and removing the cage hardware 1st, so all in the sudden it breaks loose and they think the wrench or ratchet slipped.......but it's actually loose but the cage i holding it on.
Remember......the nut you are grabbing to loosen this is 1/4 the width of the threaded hub.......here's a comparison......try powering your truck on a 5hp go-cart motor!!!

My personal opinion on pullys is simple.Buy Sals.Its ALOT cheaper and easier to put on and off as many times as you want with NO problems.I dont believe in the theory that the cage has to be there because of clearance issues.Ive had both JDM and PSP pullys and PSP is the easiest,cheapest,excellent quality.They all do the same thing you know.The dealer can tell no matter which you got.........................

Mat, I was offering suggestions based on what has been
happening with the caged pullies. It would make no difference
if it was JDM or some other manufacturer. As I stated in PI's
thread, the problem does exist, and it might be related to
the hardness of the two parts.
If you want to just jump in and defend JDM, that's fine to, just
recognise that not everyone has great experiences with any
particular vendor, and there isn't much reason to attack someone
based on who their vendor of choice is.
Now back to regularly scheduled programming.

Jake, goodluck with whatever you decide to get. -Mat-

Jake:
Just might do that. Sal got ahold of me last night and gave me the dates etc. I am trying to get him to do a filter for my Blackwood but I think he needs to see one first as it may be different from the L intake. Anyway, assuming he will be there I will probably be there also.
Sorry to tag on to your pulley post
