Let her rip, then when the clutch gives way later down the road, just get a 3250DD and never worry about any problems again!

I pull a 50 foot wedge with 3 cars on daily, no troubles here. Heck my stock clutch went 190k.

get the trans-cool coolers and fill the g56 with two gallons of amsoil or other synthetic atf4. this is one quart for the cooler and one quart over full. the g56 needs this last quart for the front bearing. what jrpro130 is talking about is the 06 up has a dual mass flywheel of very poor design. i had three of them fail before 50,000 miles if i would of had them replaced under warranty they would have put a dmf back in. i chose to get the south bend kit for the trucks it has a solid flywheel that has a real pilot bearing a disk that does not slip and new hydraulics. the solid flywheel does transmit the noise more than the dmf so when you install it do not think there is something wrong. we tow very heavy with the 06 trucks and one has a temp gauge on it. they stay cool with the fluid and cooler

Thanks Carl I wondered what a '3250DD' was, sounded like a topless dancer's bra.

Has something happened to Trans-cooler? I tried to reach them at their phone number and email and nothing works. Are they out of bus?
Thanks/John
