Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Stock Clutch Still Holding: BOMBed and 36K Miles

[Wiredawg]

Fellow Rammers:



Stock clutch still holding after 36K miles, DD2s; TST PM-3 adj, 4" exhaust, Scotty Air.



I don't baby this sucker, I actually drive it pretty hard. Only diff is I rev her out instead most of the time versus stepping into it at lower RPM.



No complaints! I have a SBC Con OFe ready if'n I ever start slipping.



This 3500 is the best vehicle I've ever owned. No problems, just awsome performance.



y'all take care,



Wiredawg

wiredawg,



My stock clutch lasted 87000 miles with an Edge EZ and 275RV injectors, and that was pulling a 34' flatbed towing 20000lbs more that once!!

But it finaly went out, when I pulled it out the guts came right out of the center of the disc. There were springs and crap falling out of everywhere:--)

Replaced it with a LUK pro gold which is holding great so far.

I've got 70000 mile on mine. I try not to abuse it. That is until I hooked to the weight transfer at the local fair. Smoked the clutch for 256 ft in 3rd lo side. There was more white smoke than black!. That was back in October. I'm still driving it. But a new SB will have to go in before spring.
