I was out messin around with my tuck doin burnouts well i just found out that a 2002 dodge cummins with the edge with attitude on level 6 and BD 150 hp injectors and 35" tires ruin a clutch real quick i think my southbend clutch is fryed im such a idot. Has anyone had any excprice with a dual disk clutch and what do they cost. And how do they drive

 

I have a south bend dd 3600lb clutch in mine and I love it. They are a little noisy with pedal pressed down. They will hold just about anything. They say the new one south bend has out now don't have any noise to it. I paid around $1500 a couple of years ago for the clutch and another $500 for the bigger input shaft on my 5 spd. There are others out there but not sure about them this is the only one I have tried. I have pulled with it the last few years and it is still going with 50,000 miles on it. The pedal is a little stiffer though but that didn't bother me.

 

What style of southbend clutch?

 

i think the CON OF it was the 550 horepower one

 

That would be the FE. Both sides are ferramic faced.

 

my buddy dosnt think its the actuall clutch plate he thinks its sumtin else. D
Dose my truck even come close to 550 horepower?

 

there ain't anything that will just 'SLIP except the clutch... you break anything else ...there is a bang, ... then you stop

and you really should be able to smell the clutch if you burned it

 

I'm running the Southbend 3600# Street Comp 12CB (650hp).

Absolutely 100% satisfied with mine. Easy to back up to trailers (Not graby). I do a few sled pulls with it each summer, pedal pressure is firm, but not heavy.
It makes a little noise idling in neutral, but nothing drowning.
The hydraulic upgrade isn't required on this clutch on an 02', but I believe any bigger plate load will require the upgrade.

 

No your truck is not at 550hp. What makes you think that your clutch is trashed?

 

you cant even get it in to gear the only way to drive in is to with out the clutch

 

you cant even get it in to gear the only way to drive in is to shift with out the clutch

 

OK hears one 4 yal. i got an 02 auto with the big hoss chip (the stuff in my sig) and i cannot even do a burnout! it i poert break, the motor will rev up to about 2k rpm of so with a little lite smoke and thats it. WHAT UP WITH THAT?

 

It's called a weak tranny, specifically the Torque Converter.

 

I just had the same problem, could not get in gear, mine was the pilot shaft bushing was wiped.

 

In response to you not being able to do a burn out have you tried smashing the go peddle then letting the truck move about a foot or so then stand on the brake if that doesn't do it check under the hood you might have a power stroke seriously my 01 does the same thing if the computer reads 0 speed then it will defuel I think at like 10psi but if you let it move a bit you can fool it and you will be able to burn em off.
