Slave Cylinder

[CRicker]

Has anyone ordered the new 12V slave cylinder assembly from Peter at SBC yet?

 

[jwilliams3]

No, I already run the 12v Master and Slave in my 04. 5

If you go dual disc its a must unless you want to push your truck off the highway!!

 

[CRicker]

I ordered a dual friction, and decided whenever I put the clutch in, I would go ahead and replace the slave cylinder while I have it apart. What all did you have to modify for the 12v assembly?

 

[jwilliams3]

Dual friction or Dual Disc?

Who makes it?

 

[CRicker]

Dual Friction, Centerforce

 

[jwilliams3]

You dont need it.

Have you already ordered the dual friction?

Cancel that order if its not too late!!!!

 

[CRicker]

I've already ordered it.

I currently use a southbend dd with the stock slave. I have only had to push the truck off the road once after doing a fourth gear launch. The stock slave lasted about 1 year, and half of that was with the dd clutch. The stock one will work good for a while but I reccomend going with the 12v slave. Peter at southbend has them already fabed up for the 3rd gens.

Cancel the order and get a South Bend DD, Mitchell or Haisley clutch.

Centerforce is probably not even as good as the OEM 04. 5, 05 clutch assembly for the 6 speeds.

12v slave? What is it? Engineered for the 12v trucks? I had a South Bend clutch installed a few months ago and still running the stock slave. Am I asking for trouble down the road? How hard is it to replace yourself?

If the clutch isnt a dual disk, no need to worry.

I believe these guys are talking about a slave cylinder from the old 12v trucks, which must be stronger than the ones in 3rd gen trucks.

The 12V cylinder has a longer stroke than the 3rd gen (i think)

Which DD clutches are demanding the upgrade? My understanding was the 3150# (or whatever the light plate load one is) was fine with a stock slave but the 3800# or anything higher demanded the switch. Can anybody comment on this?

[jwilliams3]

I ran the 36# for about 4 months ok with the stocker master.

2 weeks with the 3850 I popped the master.

 

[SRadke]

Were you slipping the 3600? Why the switch? Comments on diffrences, pluses, minuses? Thanks.



-Scott

 

[jwilliams3]

If your gonna sled pull get the 3850.

3600 is ok for pulling, but slipping it too much will burn it up!

Cancel the order and get a South Bend DD, Mitchell or Haisley clutch.

Centerforce is probably not even as good as the OEM 04. 5, 05 clutch assembly for the 6 speeds.

The reason why I ordered a centerforce is because a couple of friends of mine have them in their trucks, and are very happy with them. The reason for a slave cylinder is because a friend of mine just has a medium clutch in his truck and he has popped his slave cylinder 3 times in the past 2 years. I may change my mind and go with a south bend clutch though.

Centerforce is always and has always been garbage.
