clutch options

I just installed my new # 10 plate and It only took one test drive to relize my stock clutch would not handle it. Who sells a good clutch/pressure plate for a reasonable price. Another question is will I need to go with the 13" instead of the 12.1/4 stock dia. clutch. I sometimes tow 20,000 lbs. My truck is a 1997 3500, man trans. Thanks Chris

ValAir makes a pretty dang smooth clutch that will hold plenty of power I've towed a few small loads with mine and it is just as nice and smooth as could be They are very reasonably priced as well!

Another vote for ValAir. Not only a great product but great customer service as well.

Peter at southbend is great to deal with and has great products but prices are kinda high for me. http://www.southbendclutch.com

Valair has some nice clutches, just installed one in a buddies truck yesterday seems to be a great product so far. Dan was great to do business with and his prices are very resonable. http://www.valairinc.com/performance.html
