SLewis,

You can do a search on clutches I'm quite sure you will find the info you want.



I'll try to give you some of the answer from what I read on site and publication. ( that is if the memory still is in tack. )



Joe had early modified sachs now called Joe D I. = 1000 to 1200 lbs torque.



Joe D. II takes 1400 to 1600 psi.



You need to find out from the search or try to e-mail Joe D.

WOW Joe D. gets 1400-1600 psi. :--) what type of turbo set up is he running??? what are his HP# did he eliminate the egt problem??





















lol sorry just couldn't resist

Hey ZJones, was that you that blew by me on the Waco double bridges yesterday??? I was in the green single cab. I was expecting you to come all the way to Hico, but you turned off in Valley Mills???

 

[zjones]

Thought that was you. ??. Was wanting to follow you to Iredell but I had a crew waiting for the 5v crimp on the back of my truck near Glen Rose. (262 mile trip for material )



I've finally seen you, whats your top speed at safe egt?? like your tail pipe

 

[Six_Man_Diesel]

I never have opened her completely up since the GSK install. We were running almost 100 at one time. What was wrong with my tailpipe?? I think it shakes around too much.

 

[zjones]

What was wrong with my tailpipe??

?? nothing ?? It's what caught my attention when I first saw your truck. Looks great. My speedo said 97mph. was just curious why you didn't come after me at first?? have had mine to 105mph on hwy220 between Hico & hwy67 great place to test mods.



By the way how do you like your Sachs clutch?? Looking at Sachs, Mitchell, & Southbend. (my clutch is not going to last much longer)

 

[Six_Man_Diesel]

Thanks for the compliment, I thought you might have meant that it shakes around too much, I put it on in Ag class last year lol. That Sachs clutch is awfully rough, it is very anyoing when I am pulling, it doesn't slip though. I think I had some oil get on the flywheel a few weeks ago, and it slipped some then, but other than that it doesn't slip. If I was buying a new clutch, I would get the 13" from TST. 500 bucks gets you a pressure plate and disc, they guarantee it for 1000 lbs of torque.

I didn't come after you at first because I can't aford a ticket!! After we got on the strait away, it was all good. It didn't dawn on me till after i saw your TDR sticker by the stack, then I knew who you were. Did you notice my strickers on the door??
