to the mod, the warranty is void........Interesting examples of how an underdrive pulley WILL void your warranty!!!!!

I had a Ford part number installed by a Ford dealer with a Ford approved fluid and friction modifier. The dealer said it's considered a factory installation.

I think mine was around $700 installed and it took them most of the day.
Yea me too, I wish I had bought the truck with L/S but oh well it has it now and was worth every dime when I'm going up a steep rutted out, washed out dirt road in the middle of the Sonoran desert. The L/S will take you to places an open diff. wouldn't for sure. That's why modding my new truck doesn't matter to me. I'm making it the truck that suits my needs not sitting there saying "I wish I would have".
My 3.0 pulls mountain grades with ease running 31" tires. Gets 23 MPG. Offroad it's not a rock crawler but it gets me into the back places and valleys where the stock truck I bought couldn't. I could drive a grocery getter or a truck, I choose a truck.

Thanks I'm very happy with it.
I went with a group about a month ago and the 4X4 guys with open diffs had problems with the steep trails. Not saying I was going to pass them but you could see one front and one rear spinning. I bet if you got the rear with a L/S it would make a night and day difference in your truck. You do take your 4X4 offroad don't you? Just asking, so many don't. My 2WD L/S spins both back tires but it really climbs.
