Make sure to create your own diagram for the belts or use mine. Ensure they are sitting flush before you start the truck.
We started the truck with the air filter off to ensure they were seated correctly, it created a check engine light, I cleared it with my Tazer.
If you disconnect the negative battery terminal, you will loose the performance pages for a few hours. It will come back.
Power tools will help minimize physical labour, a leverage bar or pipe will help with breaking the crank bolt loose.
The total process took about 2.5 hours, filming took up some time.
Special thanks to my buddy for helping me with the install. It would of taken me an eternity to install it without his help!

You can notice the 2psi of boost at Wide Open Throttle.
Use this tutorial at your own risk, I am not responsible if you have any errors or issues.
Please feel free to ask any questions!
As of July 1/21 this kit does not include TRX specific instructions.
Also ENSURE YOUR CRANK BOLT IS TORQUED TO 148LBS + 150 DEGREES.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PULLEY, DO IT RIGHT AND BUY THE FAS PREDATOR PULLEY!
"Idk what the fuck that is in bald eagles" LMFAO💀💀💀
😂
Proprietary Diagram...Awesome!!! Great Video...Unreal detail!
Pretty much the same as any AutoCAD drawing 😂
Thank you for a straight forward and concise video.
Glad you were able to utilize it! I appreciate the awesome feedback!
Nice Masonic flag Brother! GREAT VIDEO - very helpful 👍
Thanks brother, greatly appreciated 🤙🏾
Great video just ordered the same thing hopefully its updated by now
Awesome man! Hope it helps!
Great video, really appreciate the detail 👍
Thank you, greatly appreciated 😊
Thanks for the vid! Just threw mine on and this helped out a bunch. Saved me some time! Appreciate it😁
Awesome dude, I'm glad it helped ya!
Dude your hilarious. You should have way more subscribers!
Hahah thanks man, I super appreciate the kind words 😊. It's a slow go at it hahah!
Just thought I would add that the instructions are still the same. I was reading though it like hell no I am not draining coolant lines let me UA-cam it because someone smarter than me probably made a video. So thank you 😊
Jesus how are they still the same lol. Glad the video helped ya man!
@@superbrowndudenational_trx honestly it’s probably cause you made this video. I’m curious if you noticed any for sure difference before and after. I only have a 1/8 mile track nearby and was only beating scats if I launched better. I raced a track hawk and he just had better faster launches consistently. I walked away from everything else. That was before I could figure out how the launch control worked. I found a flat half mile stretch of road to practice with the onboard computer and got sub 12 sec stock but I only have the extra weight of the pano roof and not the bed cover or rambar. I did my numbers on E. Non ethanol fuel seemed to give me noticeable 0-60 improvements and about .1 sec faster fastest times. I’m also at sea level with regularly cool weather. Before I put the pulley on I’m gonna gather more data. The hp numbers they claim this gives seem inflated, but there’s another video out there of a regular hellcat with just a pulley on stock tune running red eye times so maybe it is almost 100 hp from the crank gain. I’ll have to record the performance pages and dynamometer to see if the stock computer has enough mapping to make more power. I also can only get 92 which is kind of an even premium, pun intended. Most places are 91 except back east they have more 93 and a hand full of places have 100.
Check out my race videos. I ran 12.6 at 105 stock. Then 12.2@109 with the pulley. I also have the pano roof and Rambar. Unfortunately the timers in the truck are not accurate. I do have the Draggy module. It's super accurate to what the track is.
We will destroy Hellcats(challengers/chargers) on a UN prepped surface. But on a prepped track a Scat Pack could take us down. Atleast that was my experience on the tracks! I was running 94 as well.
@@superbrowndudenational_trx I noticed a prep surface helped me a lot as well. They don’t like to keep prepping the track toward the end of the night for the last hour. I noticed I was spinning. I’ll have to check draggy out. How far off is the onboard stuff? It usually seems consistent to me my 1/8 mile times and mph seem about what yours look like with pulley. What’s the elevation of your track?
So the onboard system is about 0.2-0.4 off. Not sure if your on the forms, however it's a legit thing. I perfer racing on the unprepped surface lol. I have no idea about the elevation of the track.
Hell yea! 🤘🏼 Good job brother!
Thanks brother!
Thanks for making the video... I learned my kit is missing the spacer! I can't wait to do it myself. So follow up video with how you like it? Is the red RAM front badge paint or vinyl.
Damn that spacer is crucial! Love it so far. It's only been a couple days. I plasti dipped the front badge. Easy to remove with a blow dryer and plasti trim tools.
Great video. What kind of power gains does this have? How much more boost pressure? And I’m assuming you don’t need to tune the ECM?
You are correct, no tunning required. I need to take some 0-60 times which should improve. My personal best so far is 3.9. You do get 2psi of boot at WOT.
@@superbrowndudenational_trx I get 3.9 stock right now. Need to see the power difference
Great vid!!! Cant wait for more vids!
Awesome! Thanks man!
@@superbrowndudenational_trx of course! Did today and was cake walk!! Also did the advanced fuel dynamics flex fuel kit to run 91 and e85. That was fun also lmao 🤣 scars to show it lol
Also if you take the whole bar that holds the T30 bolts, you don't have to remove the t30 bolts. Easy peesy!
That's awesome, I wish we could get E85 in Ontario!
Brown crap built up in coolant tank looks like mine. Only seen this on a few? Have you had it looked at? Guy I know had his flushed and the dealer said it was casting sand from the engine block that was leftover. I am getting mine looked at monday to see what the deal is as they already said it not normal.
Mine has been like that since 4k, I was beating the shit out of it at the track. I'm at 24k now, I'm not to worried about it. It has not affected anything. It's not a head gasket issue or anything either.
"Don't know what that is in bald eagles"...lol
🤣
Did you do the "Ripatuned Incognito + tuning suite" ? I have a TRX also and love it, thanks for the video, I'm about to pull the trigger on this upgrade!! Any issues so far?? thanks! jl
No tunning suite, to soon to wreck the warranty Hahaha. It's been well worth it, no issues so far! I have about 12,000kms on it.
Did you feel a power difference?
There is a significant difference at wide open throttle. The 2psi equals around 50 hp or so.
Be careful of your transmission. Doesn't happen that often but be mindful of that, that's the risk you take (Risk vs Reward)
For sure, gotta pay to play!
You should do a 0 to 60 and quarter mile. Just on the truck computer and post it.
Great video - thanks!
Thanks for watching 😊
Did the gear head fabrications tool to keep the crank from slipping coke with your kit or did you get it separately bc it didn’t come with my kit
So if your doing it by yourself, it likely wouldn't hold. You would need to stuff rags or something else to assist. I had a second set of hands to help keep it in place. It should of been included with your kit!
@@superbrowndudenational_trx Okay well mine did came with one so I’ll have to try and get ahold of Ripatuned and see if I can get one. Thank you
No problem, send them a email. You will likely be communicating with Tony.
How close is the sleeve to the lower bracket on yours ?? I just did mine myself tad bit over an hour all from underneath but just seems really REALLY close to that bracket beside the sleeve and belt .
Mine has is fairly close, it's been fine for the last 14k or so tho!
I remember someone saying they had to shave the back end of their incognito pulley. Did you have to? I dunno if they didn’t do it right or if it was just a defect on the ripatuned side. Thanks
No shaving required, more than likely a manufacture defect !
@@superbrowndudenational_trx more than likely not following installation instructions....
Who knows, the instructions at the time were not even specific to the trx. Even when we did the pulley on the Hellcat Durango, they were not specific to the Durango either. The lack of support from the company is alarming as well.
So mine is very close to the ac compressor bracket now. Was this an issue ??
Totally normal, very minimal clearance!
Do you believe its worth voiding the warranty for this? considering getting one
100% Night and day difference man. The good thing is you can swap back the parts after if you need to goto the dealer!
Why did you put thread locker on the crank bolt?
Your correct, the instructions didn't call for it, however there were not TRX specific instructions at the time.
Also if you do from underneath, its easier :)
I just hate laying underneath the truck, I didn't mind taking the air box off 😊, and I wanted to see the filters!
Bro said 40lbs, that's all I need to know to tell he's not a real mechanic. 40 in lbs or ft lbs? Cmon bro
Thanks for catching that! I would assume that anyone installing the pulley would of assumed 40 ft lbs! I stand corrected! On the bright side I've never mentioned being a mechanic.
Where did you get the pulley kit from and how much did it cost
I got it from Ripatuned it was around $900 Canadain.
Is the flywheel gear part really needed?
It absolutely is, as you will not be able to loosen or tighten the pulley with the fly wheel moving!
How much horsepower has been added?
It's all top end power, I think it's around 50ish
I read the instructions. The crank bolt should be 148 ft lbs + 150 degrees. Your crank bolt is currently loose
You are correct, it is in the description. I actually haven't retorqued it yet. It's got about 15000kms now and about 6 months of time.
Are there TRX specific instructions yet?
@@superbrowndudenational_trx I got to the 148 and only was able to get another 45 degrease. The difference would likely be burying the gauge on the torque wrench. I don't see getting 150 out of it. The difference in how tight this is compared to what it is at 148 lbs is night and day. I would suggest doing it soon.
See you on the forum and thanks for the video. It made the job easier for sure.
You're talking about 24 in lbs, you'll be good my friend. Been in Aviation and aerospace for 20+ years, tail rotor drive shafts under torqued before by way more and lasted 500 hrs.
did you pin the crank?
I did not, however it would be pretty beneficial if done! This kit was the unpinned kit.
That was one of my fears 😨 If it's pin, its practically impossible to remove. On the flip side, if aggressive driving it came come loose if not pin to the crank. I've ask several TRX owners locally who did similar mods. Just feedback from the community
Luckily I'm at 25k now, no issues and drive the shit out my truck lol.
@@superbrowndudenational_trx assuming you take it for its scheduled maintenance, I'm assuming there's no reason it would come up unless there is an engine failure. I just don't want to void my warranty
Yea… I torqued my crank bolt to 140ftlb, and it slipped… then I tried 200.. still slipped. Imma have to pin it
Well that's no good! It's pretty ridiculous that crank does not come pinned from the factory!
Any squealing?
Unfortunately yes there is, it was fine for a couple thousand km's. Then the squeal started at WOT. I replaced the belts it was fine for another few thousand km's, and the squeal has returned at WOT. Also on cold starts there is a chirp as well. Very annoying, but for me the gain of boost out weighs the squeal.
Still no TRX manual
Sweet baby geebus 🤦🏿
@@superbrowndudenational_trx got a point?
I can't believe it's been this long and still no manual to assist with the install.
Why bother 702 hp keeps the warranty on check !!!
The 702 gets boring after a while. It's been on for 35k now. Noticeable power increase and can be removed if I ran into issues!
I see you square /G\
S.S @ No.73
So it is squealing ?
Unfortunately yes, for the last 25k. I'm going to change the belts and see if anything improves.
@@superbrowndudenational_trx I hope that solves it. Did it feel tight putting it on ?
