New to the forum and hoping someone might be able to help me out. Have a 2000 2500 cummins with 5 speed trans with 106000 miles. Added a Banks kit to it about a year ago. Ever since install I have been having what feels like the clutch slipping. Its a very brief break in power, always in 5th gear. and always when pulling a grade. Cannot make it happen, only does it when it wants to. Might go months and thousands of miles in between occurances. Thought it was a problem with the Banks instal to begin with but now think it may be my clutch slipping. But would think if it was the clutch that I should be able to make it slip but cant. Anyone with similar issues with Banks kit?

Thanks

 

The hp increase from a Banks kit is low so it won't hurt your drive train.
That's one of their selling points.
I think your clutch was on it's way out before the Banks install.

 

If this were facebook, I would hit the "like" button.

Yeah no way anything banks made the clutch let go, probably just from age and wear. Time for a southbend dd.

 

hello i have a 2003 cummins 6 speed nv5600 i have a cai and full 4 inch exhaust a intake horn and planning on doing a hybrid turbo and water meth inj o yeah and i have an mp8 my clutch is aftermarket but slips bad on high level i found a valair single disc clutch rated at 600 hp it is a ceramic clutch would this be a good choice i need some direction here quick and i dont really wanna spend over 700 on it

 

my first upgrade was a vanaaken box, truck was still almost new and it made my clutch slip.....the stock clutches are border line at best, they will just hold stock power........any upgrades like fueling boxes or injectors will most likely cause it to slip,at least it did mine

 

i have the same style clutch and it works very well

 

is it too grabby and have you pulled anything if i pull its uaually a 2 horse trailer of a 45 horse tractor nothing too strinuious but i dunno i like the clutch i was just wondering how it holds up and if its a true 600 horse clutch

 

on their website its says not recommended for towing. The full ceramics are in and out.

 

my clutch is grabby only when i am backing up and try to slip the clutch , i don't have low range so i am real gentle while backing ....

 

That description sounds more like "dead pedal" than slipping clutch. If the engine doesn't race when it does it, it's not the clutch slipping. Do a search for "dead pedal" if this sounds right to you.

 

Thanks for the "dead pedal" tip. Have rulled out that its not the clutch which still leaves me with trying to figure our whats going on with it. Tried search for dead pedal on the web with no luck. Will keep searching.
