We have found a way to build the first spring loaded dual disc for the diesel pickup trucks!

Reasons for doing this...

1. To hold the power where a single disc falls off.
2. To resolve the problem of idle clatter and transmission/input shaft ware.
3. To help with the ease of engagement.

We are sending this prototype out to Ponci's Diesel for Brad to install in his truck. Brad is currently using our dual disc with the solid hubs. We feel he will be a perfect candidate to compare the difference between the two designs with top quality knowledge and workmanship. He will also be able to relay any information needed to make additional changes if needed. We have also selected another truck for a second unit that is a 3rd generation to do some testing. lmills/Lloyd from Mid Atlantic Diesel has installed and ran many dual disc clutches and we believe he will be able to provide valuable comparisons from the previous designs. His truck also as very good power and is currently running our CON FE on the ragged edge. The 3rd gen. trucks are very quite so this should be a good test not only for the noise but the driving mannerisms between the FE and the DD.

I am hoping for the best so we are able to tackle the awesome power that your trucks are now producing and bring to rest the concerns so many people have as to whether or not to use a DD clutch for fear of noise and transmission ware.

Well if you have to pull my leg i guess I could BETA test!! Looks sweet!!

 

Ya if you wanted see what a low power 1st gen can do to it, then let me know.

Looks good work as usual guys. Goo job!!

 

Dang It Peter!!!!!!!!!!!

I just had mine redone about 2 months ago...this would be perfect for me!!!!


Looks good though!

yeah i wish it would have come out a month ago

 

yeah great, i just put my ofe in 5 days ago. darn!!!
looks promising though peter.

 

wow , all i can say is WOW!!! i wish my truck wasn't an auto, i like slammin gears.

 

Peter,

I assume this is engineered specifically for the dual-mass flywheels?

This is the clutch I've been waiting for... what facing choices will there be?

When do you think the production units will be available for shipping?

 

This will fit all ford 7.3 diesels and all dodge 5.9 diesels with the NV 4500 NV 5600 and the new G56 transmissions. As for now it will only be available in the ceramic button. We will work on the performance organic. After testing production will begin and will take a couple weeks to be released.

Me Likey!!!!!!!!!!!! What will they run around????????????

 

Anything if you can shift fast enough.

 

Any chance of just selling the discs for those of us who already have a DD clutch?

 

So can this clutch be used with the dual-mass flywheels?

 

Same question here!
