Here's how I'm trying this mod, or at least tried it today. Took the serpentine belt off before going to work, during daylight hours. I work 2-10:30p. The drive to work really didn't use the battery hardly at all. Started with 13.07 volts by the time I was at work it read 12.7 volts. Hooked the belt back up once I was at work. Took 5 minutes. Have to drive home in the dark, when I'd be using the most volts to run the lights. I'm hopeful of some kind of gain not having to run the serpentine belt at all going in to work. The water pump is driven off the timing belt.
