I am trying to decide on a clutch for my truck. I have 107k on the stocker and it is still ok but the engagement point seems to be getting further from the floor and I want to have a clutch selected for when it is time. I have a Superchip tuner that I currently do not have installed but when I did I could only run the tow setting. With the perf tune installed the clutch would slip in 4,5,6 gears. I am still not sure weather or not it will go back in the truck. With the construction industry in the tank I am beginning to think more of keeping my truck for longer than I have in the past which has been from 100-120k. More like 300k! Plus, trucks are really getting expensive. So I am not sure if I will add a tuner again, but it is always a possibility.

Anyway, back to the clutch issue. Southbend is probably out of the question due to cost. Valair may be a possibilty since they are less expensive than the SB. It would be the cheaper one, 600-700 dollar range. I have heard Luk is ok. Has anyone had a Valeo clutch? As an OEM replacement they seem to be the cheapest at around 570.00. Of course any clutch I do will have the solid flywheel replacement ilo dual mass. I know the Valair at 6-700 is not much more than the Valeo but you have to upgrade the hydro's for another 275.00 bringing the difference to 3-400 dollars.

I do tow a 12k camper in the summer.

What are your thoughts? Thanks.

save your money up for the south bend your 06 has a dual mass flywheel that is junk the south bend kit has a solid flywheel with a real pilot bearing and includes new hydraulics, drive it right and it will get you over the 1,000,000 mile mark and the truck will too

 

I'm very happy with the SO OFE, but Carl's right, you need to get rid of your stock flywheel no matter what you go with.
