I have never used either 19t pulley, but from what I have read on here, and other sources, using one makes for a very loose belt (regardless of tensioner settings) and possibly the belt coming off.

Sounds like using one is a non-starter and it is out of the "toolbox" for me, so to speak.

I've been running the overdrive pulley in the front since day 2 of my truck running, and while it's true that the belt feels "soft" that way, it has never skipped for me until yesterday. I replaced the belt (after 7 months it's just worn out, it was a good bit longer than the replacement) and again, no issues with it coming off.

Sc10 4x4 has plenty of rear traction .


Which spring are you using in the rear ?

Seen a few posters even suggest stiffer rear springs , proof plenty of traction with the truck ...

Not that I can suggest to use a stiffer spring as yellow is plenty....

Borack , if your loose , try blue ...

when traction goes down i lower my rear ride height... when traction is good i go 24mm f / 24mm r... when it gets looser i dont change anything but ride height, and i drop the rear down to 23.5mm or 23mm depending on how bad it really is. always use yellow springs all around.

A lot of racers do not understand..

when switching to a lighter spring in back to gain more traction ....

Also will find more steering due to the extra chassis roll ...

I did that I was yellow/yellow and my truck looked like I had a dead body or 2 in the truck and still didnt bite. I really think that I should pick a tire with a little less bite for the front. At this point, that seems like the best idea. The only time my rear end does not swing like a mad man is on indoor high bite. But.... I can go straight now. I just have zero rear side bite.

i thought that was to try to get the truck to actually jump more flat. i tried front springs on the rear after all the talk on here, which i did not have green fronts in my box to try, but even with white fronts i did not like how the truck drove.

my truck jumps very flat, which i have most cutouts removed on a flowtek, all but front wheel & side cutouts.
