Smile Throw out bearing gave up

Here are pictures of my clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel, All look like brand new, other than being dusty dirty....The throw out bearing locked up, and was grinding on the fingers of the pressure plate ....A real heart break to know my clutch looked this good, with 342,000 miles on it....Yes this is the ORIGINAL CLUTCH!!! I am very proud to say that i can drive this truck pulling everything for the past3 years I have owned it, 1000 ibs to 23000 ibs trailers and have to replace because of a 35 dollar part. It will be nice to know that i can go another 300,000 on my new clutch, providing no part failures.
Just thought you all like to know.
Anybody tell me how to upload these pictures????

Impressive!!

To upload pics click on your photo gallery, and then click Upload pictures in the upper right hand corner.

BTW, how many miles have you been running the EZ and at what level?
