Installed a South Bend Clutch yesterday(by myself). It is NOT a job for the mechanically faint of heart. I went with the 13" clutch that they offer for the Rams that came with 12 1/4" clutches from the factory.
Test drive impressions: Pedal effort is markedly less. Clutch engagement is very smooth and streetable. This is important to me since my wife drives my truck occasionally.
Peter at South Bend has a winner here and I am grateful. I would also like to express my thanks and compliments to TDR member OO. He posted clutch install directions with photos that helped a bunch.
Rod at www.wildcatdiesel.com also has my thanks for the good deal and fast shipping on the clutch. The April special I got is nearly over for those of you thinking about a clutch purchase.
I am not affilliated with either South Bend clutch or Wildcat Diesel, just reporting impressions of a satisfied customer.
