Towing with a Con OFE
So I finally got to pull my 18k trailer with my new OFE and it REALLY does not like traffic lights. Once you get rolling it is great. I can't seem to find any way to let the clutch out in 1st from a light that it doesn't want to hop on me. I put about 1,500 miles on it before I pulled with it. Is it going to get any better with time? Adding a little RPM does not seam to help.

I know with mine, I seem to be able to pull away without any shudder or chatter by just letting the clutch out enough to get the truck rolling and then let it all the way out, not quite dumping it but getting aggressive with it when you "dump" it.
Might have to experiment with it for your combo.

I wonder if the combination of the OFE and the ladder bars are making it a little too rigid from a dead stop. I think I will drop the bars and see what that does.

I was planning putting some in to fix the axle wrap that I get. You have to come off fairly fast you cant ride it out like a stock one.
