Thanks, yeah going to do at least 500 try for a 1000 miles city driving before I hook the trailer behind it. Right now it feels like clutch is dragging a bit engaging gears and shifting, nothing like before. Maybe it’ll go away as the clutch wears in or I may need to adjust the rod on the clutch...

Got the dual disk in. Truck is shifting, really not that loud with the dual disk and single mass flywheel. Went with the organic, should have gone with the ceramic I think. Pedal feels as soft as stock. Anyways really happy all it was is the dual mass flywheel. Thanks for all the input.

Something is definitely wrong with the dual mass flywheel. Like a said it makes noise moving it. Also you can see some damage on to the springs in the dmf. Transmission seems fine, no main bearing play trying to move the input shaft front to back. Also fluid drained from transmission seemed...

Here are the pics of my set up. This is the write up I used. I used a no bypass oil filter http://www.trucktrend.com/how-to/transmission-drivetrain/1811-custom-oil-cooler-cures-hot-g56-transmissions

A little off topic but here’s some pics of doing a swap from a ford school bus after the kdp took out my buddies original 12 valve. Was told by the previous owner it was tabbed. Should have spent the hour to check. Lesson learned. On the plus side the school bus motor came with a Enton fuller...

They are actually rated for more then the metal ones. They are reinforced and actually built pretty sturdy. I didn’t have any doubt laying under the truck and even jacked up the rear end to get the transmission out from under the truck. I like how light the g56 transmission is compared to the...

Yes they are, rated for 13,000 lbs. got them at harbor freight for $40 and don’t forget to use the 20% off coupon you can always find online. https://www.harborfreight.com/13000-lb-portable-vehicle-ramp-set-63956.html

So got the transmission pulled. Definitely a problem with the dual mass flywheel. When I shake it or spin it, it makes noise like pieces of metal are moving around in it. Also found bites of metal in the bell housing of the transmission (clutch area). Oh well once I get a proper clutch and...

Quick question, should I go for the organic or ceramic dual disk clutch. They are same price, I’ve driven manual transmissions sense I started driving so I’m pretty good with feeling the pedal. I just want which ever one will hold up best to towing heavy. Thanks

I bought it from a used dealer. They told me it’s a Canadian truck and I don’t have any manufacture warranty. Also I denied the dealer warranty that was offered but in my defense their warranty didn’t cover clutch’s anyways. Pretty sure a delete will void any warranty. Anyways, installed the new...

No slippage, can’t recall if noise is still there with clutch pedal press to the floor. Transmission already has Castrol syntrans 75w-85 I switched it over before I started hauling heavy. Also added a cooler with fan, filter, pump to circulate and cool the oil. Made a big difference, before oil...

Yeah if I end up having to replace the clutch I’ll be doing a south bend dual disk. Sadly didn’t get the hydraulics today so hopefully they get delivered tomorrow.

I wish I knew what to say. What I can confirm is that it won’t go into gear if the engine is running. If I shut off the engine and put it into gear then start the engine the truck will want to creep forward. Letting the clutch pedal out engages the clutch, the truck will roll forward normally. I...
