I need a new clutch any advice stay with stock sachs $600, 0090 rally for $370 or southbend 13" OFE $890.

What are your plans for the truck?

Jschlachta

mostly running around empty but occasionally pull a skid steer loader trailer. I am looking at rebuilding the pump and for around 300 hp.

i vote the sachs, it is a 13" clutch and its a great clutch for what your doin.

ofcmarc

Stock Sachs will handle that as long as you don't abuse it.

ive abused mine and its still holding, im sure im well over 350 hp, it especialy likes 3rd gear boosted launches. its outlasted 4 trannies.

i wish i could say the same about it, mine is toast but i don't know how old it is iv only owned my truck one year but it was stock when i bought it.....so if it was the original clutch it must of been a good one

Don't get the rally, you will break the center towing.

I've got the 350 hp OFE with about 50k mi on it. It was a little grabby at first but has been smooth ever since. Still holds good, just pulled 20k trailer last week and did just fine.

i also have an sb ofe and im very happy with it.

So it looks to be between the SB OFE and sachs. If I go with the Stock Sachs clutch what are the odds of having hotspots on the flywheel and it needing to be replaced? or does the sachs clutch come with new flywheel. For those with the SB OFE, did you have to change anything for it to work like upgrade the hydraulics?

thanks

Crossy's son

you do not have to upgrade the hydraulics for an OFE...or any single disc clutch for that matter..... dual disc is when you need to upgrade

Jschlachta

just read through the field service manual and see that the flywheel does not need to be machined with new clutch just some 180 grit to take out minor marks.

I didn't have to make any mods for my OFE. As for your current flywheel having hot spots, more than likely it will. If your putting a new clutch disk in then the flywheel should really be turned.
