Poor stock clutch

My stock clutch is dead,,,Poor thing may she rest is peace... She said she wanted to be creamated when she died So i heated her up real good... When i was backing in the shop today I put the clutch pedal to the floor and the truck just keep going it wouldnt realese.

So now I have to put another stock clutch back in for like a month utill my SFI eep dual disk pulling clutch is done.

Below is a list of some of the things my clutch has been through.

Stock clutch 96k miles
2 sled pulls leaving the line at 3000rpm dumping the clutch
At least 3, third gear launches racing our doing burnouts
2nd gear launches At high rpms I cant even remember
2nd gear power braking it burnouts ,,same as above cant remember to many times
Pulling trees that where about 40' long and 3' dia
Im sure there is more but that is all i can remember..

The stock clutch heldup alot better than i thought it would,Ive smoked it so many times the smeel wont go away....

I was wondering did you have the mods done when you did the pull or not? How well did you di in the pull. I was thinking about doing it but a couple of people said that I wouldn't even last one pull with the stock clutch. I just wanmt to do one pull but not sure if I should or not. I would be pulling with a 2005 6spd 3.73 with just a straight pipe with 10XXX miles on it.

I have done two pulls with the stock clutch,both pulls I left the line at 3000rpm 3rd gear low range Tst on 5x5 first pull and 8x5 second pull.. And I took home the first place trophy..


The flywheel had a few melted burnt spots .... I will try and post pics... I cant believe how good the stock clutch has held up.. And trust me ive smoked it many times..

After hearing all of that I guess my clutch is going to last a million miles!
