was just wondering if anyone has tried it?????

 

end of the crank is different so a std flywheel will not work

 

How so??? cause if it needs to be opened up I have a Mill and a lathe if the Mods can be done to the Flywheel?????

 

Why not throw a South Bend in it and not worry?

If you have to buy a flywheel anyway, migth as well get a clutch that can take abuse.

 

because of the way they mount the flywheel to a flex plate makes it need something like a spacer thats casted in the new flywheel to get the proper clearance. just went thru the ordeal of changing mine out about 3 weeks ago

 

Supposed to be getting a newly installed 03 Flywheel clutch and pressure plate,, out of a totaled truck,,, I already have a well used 06 Dual mass FW shop door stop to compare to,,, mine went out @ 68K,,,,,, gonna do some checking,,,, we'll see might make a good thread!!!!

 

Rich I think I would be looking at what some one is doing wrong!!Or I would be putting some gauges on if you don't have any.We have an 89 with over 600.000 and never has had a head pulled we are on the 6 rebild frunt end 2 transmission 3 power stearing pump shaft. the 3 set of injectors. It is now jest a stand by.

 

i'm not sure what your talking about. i run gauges but i also run about 60 to 120k a year and about 80% of that is hauling around 23k. i dont buy a truck to drive around in i get em to make money by working. Almost all of those trucks the truck gave out before the motor. went thru 7 nv4500 on the one 98.5 and 4 clutches.

 

South Bend makes a conversion kit that changes from the stupid DM flywheel to a single mass and bolts right in with no adapters. It's been in my truck for around 10k now with no issues. A little more noise (which is normal I'm told) but the vibration of the grenaded DM is gone.
