i have a '96 cummins 2500 with 245,000 miles and it is the original clutch. Last year was the first year i plowed with it. should I replace the clutch or push my luck?

 

Push your luck, you'll have to replace it eventually, but, if it ain't broke dont fix it.

 

The question is...how long can you afford to have your truck down for?? Do you have a clutch on hand ready to go in?

 

true true..

mine went with owner records and bombs 95K on first clutch, 64K on second centerforce POS clutch and right not is on third stock clutch..

all depends on how u drive it

I had about 125,000 on mine, no mods, very little towing, overall light foot. It wasnt toast, I had it replaced when fifth went out, but was worn.

 

My cousin has a 94 with 250000 + miles on the original. He runs a plate and gsk. The truck is always blowin smoke and pullin trailers, but he does'nt have any plans of a new clutch. Just don't slip it on purpose.

 

65k on mine. I want a South Bend. It's holding for now.

 

90k was when my stock clutch went. then I got a center crap which lasted until 94k now I have a SBC DD and don't have to worrie anymore...IT HOOKS

How long have you had your clutch. Peter has redone the pedal pressure on the 3850's and mine is half what my first one was.

oh about a month or so

 

Hmm sounds like yours must be stiffer than mine. They do tend to soften up a little after the first couple of hooks to the sled
