very upset with my valair clutch - Page 2

**95Cummins12Valve** · 07-10-2008, 09:19 AM

I too have had no issues with my clutch, the multi gear burn outs prob weren't the best idea but like I have always heard, to be old and wise you have to first be young and stupid, and I myself are a victim of that creed

I-6DZL, you cant tell me you have never done a good burnout once the rubber is getting a little low can ya? plus, im 18, I gotta cause trouble somehow, Still cheaper than being one of those low life druggies addicted to cocane so I hear!!!

Hell yea i've done a sweet burnout but i knew the risk i was taking. I definately knew i would NOT get on a public forum and make a disgracing post such as yours, to a clutch manufacturer being it valair, or south bend.

As i agree hands down, you cannot disrespect a truck that commands respect. What's next, he'll wrap the damn thing around a tree?? We sure hope not!!!

The video show's way too much stupidity in that burn out. Start straight and continue to go straight, there was too many objects around to be acting in that manner.

Now that i've said my peace, i apologize if i offend anyone. Now the poster should be man enough to apologize to valair.

Yep, done that with my king cobra in my tko tranny. Not even 400 miles on the clutch and burnt it so bad on a burn out that i couldnt even get out of first gear. But then i bought a centerforce dual friction and did it again after another 400 miles. Kids never learn. I was 18 years old at the time. Crap, im 27 now and still would do it. I cant believe i never even spun the tires in my truck!!! Guess im getting wizer or lamer!!! lol

Either way, it happens to the best of us!!

well, shoot, I dont know much guys. I dont know much about clutches either, I figured if it said 450, it meant 450 no matter what as long as you werent riding the clutch. yes it was broke in properly. Im very sorry for making a scene about valair. I actually have loved it, I was a little upset when I wrote this last night. With everybody being so nice on here, I think I should sell the dodge and join a rice gang. shoot you guys are tough. But what do I know, im just 18, trying to have fun! you only live once, I want good stories to tell when I get older, I would rather be sitting around a campfire with my grandchildren telling exiting stories of burning out and 4 wheeling, hooking up with girls, compared to some of the stories my friends are going to be telling their grandchildren, theirs will be like, when I was your age, I rode a 12 speed mountain bike and never got a girlfriend till I met your grandmother at age 34. I wont be selling my dodge, I just now understand you cant drive however you want on a 450 horse clutch, but thanks again guys for your support

clutch was holding today great. I dont need to call dan, there is nothing wrong with his product.. Just something wrong with my head, acording to some people. But thats their opinion. Im suprised those same guys didnt get mad at me for the green house gasses I was putting into the o zone. haha
