I am going to be pulling my getrag for a rebuild and with 230k miles on it I am thinking do the clutch while it is appart. I am getting some chatter at a few rpms that I suspect might be the springs rattling.

What would be a good affordable clutch for a fairly stock rig? I usually don't pull more than 6k lbs. I know that from reading I will most likely be going to the newer smaller clutch unless I really want to fork out some cash.

I haven't been on the board much the past couple of months with the truck parked awaiting being fixed.

I have the LUK Pro-gold and I am very happy with. I don't pull very much very often. I think I paid about $350 at

I am using a Hays with good results. I got it through summit racing it was about $350 for the kit.

 

13" stock Sachs clutch would be a good replacement. I think www.quad4x4.com sells them. Good to about 800rwftlb.

 

I'm with Bill on this one. The stock clutch on these 1st gens is really tough. Mine was holding around 700 ft-lb just fine, I swapped in a Con-O when the trans was out for rebuild. The Con-O is not a towing clutch, though.

 

I swapped out the 221,000 mile sachs when the getrag needed an overhual. The original sachs clutch is really a nice setup. I went with the South Bend CON OFE, it was pricey, but it has proven to be easy to drive in traffic and will hold what the cummins throws at it.

 

the sachs is an expensive beast to though. Around $600 for one!
