I think the OK-HD is probably a better fit for you and it will have better manners than the ofe

you need the complete kit. you have a pos dual mass flywheel that will eventually ruin the g56 if you do not get rid of it. the kit comes with a single mass flywheel with a real ball bearing pilot bearing, new hydraulics, throw out bearing, pressure plate and disc of your choice. we have had more than one pilot bearing come out and ruin the disk, that is why I said to use locktite and stake it in. call south bend at 574-256-5064 and tell them what you posted and they will help you decide between the conofe and the ok-hd

Carl...the one I posted is the complete kit and he practically never tows and when he does it is less than 10,000....that is what Southbend built the HD clutch to do...Plus it has better manners than the OFE

ellis I agree, when he replied I did not make myself plain enough that he needs the complete kit, not just a disk and pressure plate and I am with you on the hd for him

I just ordered the South Bend Heavy Duty Clutch Kit G56-OK-HD
Now to find someone to install it. I may get my local dealer to, they said that they could install it in a day. I just need to go over the price they quoted me to make sure they know it has new hydraulics and all...
