I was talking with Dave when I was ordering my tranny. He mentioned the billet front drum? He said he's never heard of what crapping out, but should I pony up more money and get it too? I may eventually go above 600, but not any time soon.....

Here's Dave's Quote: "For trucks that are drag racing or entered in sled pulling events, all of the above upgrades would apply. We can also add a front clutch drum made of stronger steel with a larger apply area for much more holding power in 3rd gear. This drum will also take a higher rpm before exploding. This can happen if the rear roller clutch fails. When the roller clutch fails the high gear drum will spin at engine rpm x the reverse gear ratio of 2.21. A 5000 rpm free rev X 2.21 = ll,050 rpm of the front clutch drum. The stock front clutch drum can come apart at about 9000 rpm.

I got the bolt in the one way roller clutch ($200), did anyone get the billet front clutch drum?

I got one, and my tranny is from Dave. Can't say for sure if I really neaded it or not. But I do drag mine from time to time and didn't want to take the chance.

Do you remeber off hand how much extra it was??? I'm already dropping 6.4K ish' already... I'd like to buy a turbo and some other goodies.....

Luken

I didn't get one...

Megaramasaur

Thanks Luken, I was waiting for you.... I would like to put down your numbers and still be ok.... Did you get the bolt in one way roller?

I guess everyone convinced me to go with the SPS 6280.... do I need the HX40 downpipe with Auto? And of course the GDP 392..and ARP studs... Man you guys are going to bankrupt me..... thought the tranny $$ was bad.... I don't think this ever ends.....

cquestad

You won't put down Luken's numbers with a 6280.

stock downpipe is fine...yes II's website is confusing about that.

march 10 my truck goes to the dyno with the same program that luken has...and i have a 6280.

Megaramasaur

Did you order your GDP 392 direct from Glacier? I'd like to see what you make, then I'll make my decision on the SPS 6280 or the 66.

Luken

You can order the GDP kit straight from Richard at Glacier.

you can buy direct like luken says or buy from a dealer....i bought mine from my tranny builder.

I called Dave back and ordered the Billet 3rd clutch drum..... I probably don't need it, but as I've said before my luck sucks......so I'm getting it loaded...
I'm hoping this will be my last diesel for at least 10yrs.... ok, maybe 5

Luken

I got the bolt in roller. HTS does it for free on a full billet build....
