I had to replace my stock crank pulley because of the holes being ob-longed.



Chris sent me another one for free. , But as you can see here it is quite a bit smaller then what came off.

Now Is it okay to run an "under drive" pulley like this without replacing any of the other accessory pulleys?

Yes it's fine. Ypu are better off leaving the other pulleys stock or even getting smaller ones to compensate for the smaller crank pulley slowing everything down. I ran into cooling and charging issues with the smaller crank pulley. Even with the 6G upgrade I was still not charging 14V. I got sick of messing around with it and put my stock crank pulley back on.
