New DD installed
Hey guys,
Well I hope I don't rub anyone the wrong way on this one...
I put the new Cryogenically treated gears in the NV5600 and installed the new Valair 3600 DD clutch. I went with the Valair because a good friend of mine has a 4X4 shop and I buy all my parts from him and he sells Valair. So far so good It holds the power better then my SB fe did and it's a lot less grabby.
The fe is a good clutch and it would hold with my mods until I added the TST then I could slip it at will. So far the DD hasn't shown any signs of slipping. Shifting is smooth and precise. I only have around 800 miles on it so far and I haven't hooked it to a trailer yet but I did haul about 3000 lbs tonight 100 miles and the clutch was very manageable felt very secure.
If this post isn't removed I'll keep ya posted how it goes after I hook up to my trailer this weekend.

Hey guys,
I wanted to update ya on how things are going with the new DD clutch.
I have about 3600 miles on it and it's been holding great. Most of those miles are with a trailer behind it and have made some hard pulls with the power cranked up and it doesn't slip even a little. I would have no trouble slipping the single disk FE with less power. Now that it's broken in it has gotten more grabby but still not as bad as my FE was. I would buy the same clutch again.
See ya,
