Upgrade belt and pulleys
Checking over my 92 I found a crack in the (plastic) power steering pump pulley... Taking it off and visiting my local parts store caught me by surprise!!! WOW!!! $$$ Surfing the net I found an upgrade LT-1 kit to convert from the double sided belt to the single sided belt... Included everything to make the change-over... Anyone had any experience making this upgrade? Any additional (extra) problems experienced???
thanks

Believe it or not this was a GM fix. But I think time ran out on it. GM also has the kit to upgrade to a single sided belt. I have 2 spares of the double sided and no vibrations or shreading of the belt so I don't need the upgrade, yet.

Yes it was and I found that out... Checking the parts though, a new power steering pump pulley will cost with shipping $300.00... However I can buy the upgrade kit which includes a new power steering pulley for $150.00 plus shipping... But like so many of these upgrades there is side-effects that are not considered... I am hoping someone has had an experience with this upgrade and will share their experience.
