Crap Ola.....Clutch starting to slip..!!!

I had to add a fuel plate didnt I.....!!! Stock clutched started slipping today at 180,000 miles. I have to tow my 12 lb trailer around once in awhile. Looks like the MU 13-1.25 from SouthBend is what I need...?? Suggestions please....

Hehehehehe

why do u think that i dont run a 100 or a zero? Heck even that crappy banks plate gives me slippin clutch blues.... PATHETIC... i know.... If you are gonna add much more fuel or more mods, IE injectors and so forth, id go with that clutch you said as a bare minimum. Call peter up, im sure he can tell you what u need.

My personal suggestions, DO NOT go centerforce, or stock clutch, Crap o la as you say on both of them. a stocker out of hte dealership will run you about 650 bucks, SAME AS A GOOD southbend... Oh boy now dont i feel like a dork...

180K miles on a stock clutch (original possibly?) is alot of miles... Id say its about time if it was the original...

Tim Southbend recommend the MU13-1.25CON-O. Rated at 350 HP and 750 Torque. Since I am only at 240 HP and 640 Torque now I still have a little room to bomb and it will pull my 12,000 trailer with ease.... Can't wait ...!!!
