Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) My new South Bend con ofe

I just couldn't put off swapping out my old clutch any longer. I wanted to wait for Triple D but that team is busy 'till January or so. A look at the attached image & it's apparent why I couldn't wait longer. South Bend got the new clutch & flywheel to me in two days! My local non diesel mechanic & I wrestled a our way through the swap in a couple of afternoons. What a great clutch! Lighter than the stock one that came out, no slipping & smooth as glass. I'm finally going to be able to use the power my HRVP 44 delivers through Smarty enhanced Mach 1. 5's Then maybe I'll get brave & tap the pump for my APB.

loks familiar, it's just so tempting to test out the higher levels of smarty... LOL

make sure you give ample break in time, before adding crazy power.

I loaded #9 in the ECM right away when I got this truck last February. It already had 140,000 "hard" miles on it. I put the Mach 1. 5's in this summer & all was still good but with the HRVP 44 It started slipping while passing. I'm really surprised it worked as well as it did. The disc is worn down to the rivets.

OFE is an awesome clutch! it held a set of Rip's 35/400 twins, DDP4's, and a 215 pump w/ the front plug as the rack stop!
