need a new clutch?

How much will it cost to replace my clutch? Where can I find this online? I have a stock 12 V CTD. Thanks<br><br>Mike

I have a used SouthBend Con O I can send to you for cheap- cheap. It held about 450HP without any problems.<br>After that it slipped. If your going over 400HP I would go with something stronger.<br><br>Don~

My truck is stock. It will probably stay stock besides putting a 3&quot; skyjacker lift on it. I think my clutch is about to go and I am just looking for a new clutch. If yours would last at least a few years it may be a possibility.

The clutch I have has smoother engagement than the stock offering and will hold up longer than the stock unit, although it is not brand new, it has plenty of life left in it.<br><br>If you want a replacement clutch that is new, the clutch I have ( SouthBend Con O)is the way to go. Several vendors on here will be able to help you out.<br><br>Don~<br><br>

The Con-O is a great clutch. Mine doesn't slip and smooth as stock.<br>Michael

I agree - Southbend is the way to go. They may not be the cheapest but &quot;you get what you pay for&quot;. Peter at SBC is the best - as I've said before some of the things I've seen him do redefine customer service. You wont regret it.<br>Bob
