I was thinking south bend 3250dd sprung hub but i dont know how many buttons to get 12 or 6? My buddy got 6 and his clutch is borderline annoying grabby I was wondering if the 12 wouldnt be as bad?

 

I just installed that clutch w/ the 12cb, yes its grabby but not bad does take a little to get use to.

 

south bend! and I would say about anything will be grabby. from my experience I didnt get a south bend and went with something cheaper (LUK) and it was a mistake on my 05. it was very grabby and didnt last long at all

 

The 12cb should be better.

 

550 hp... for street with out beeing grabby, ofe.... if your guna pull, well then double disk it.
the ofe is way under rated. do a good break in and it holds alot. dont break it in , it'll glaze and a stock motor will slip it....

 

If any sled pullin is on the menu then im gonna say go with the 3600 12cb sprung hub! I love mine, and it really not that grabby!

 

What do you have to do to break it in? take it easy for a couple hundred miles?

 

12 button for street; 6 button for dragstrip. OFE would feel more like stock and like gus said,will probably do the job. I am already used to my 3250 dd, not like stock of course of course, but not too grabby to me. Call Peter at South Bend and do what he tells you. My opinion anyway.

 

hey Bswope im getting ready to order a 3600lb Plate Load DD--probly a SB, but i drove one and it hopped really bad in reverse, I had to slip it a great deal, and the owner said it was twice that bad when backing a gooseneck. any experience or input?
thanks

 

it's all about 4low when backing a DD clutch up......

 

that makes a little sence. is it manageable with a big trailer?

 

I heard centerforce is coming out with a high hp single for diesels. Something like 1200 hp. Just heard a few bits and pieces about it. Anyone know anything about this.

 

If backing up 42,000 pounds is considered a big load all I can say is my SB DD 3600 clutch has no problums at all. For me it is a habit to put it in low range when backing even when I had the stock clutch.

 

I have an OFE and it holds everything I have thrown at it! And it shifts better than stock in my case!

 

I can slip my new FE at will with the TST/Smarty stack so I ordered a DD. I would recommend go for the best you can afford. I wish I had.
Good luck,
Topper
