Alright I got a 99 24v but the tranny is out of a 96 12v. Tonight I blew the clutch. It was the southbend 650 rwhp one. I heard they are the best. But now what it blew it? What should I go with??

Here's the list of mods.
Edge juice w hot unlock and drag tunes
200 injectors hotrod pump
150 raptor
it's a dually sitting on 38 militarys and hauls everyday. Keep that in mind to

What do you mean 'blew' the clutch? And how did you accomplish it? I wouldn't think you've got anywhere near enough power to slip that clutch so I have to assume user error. Unless you are trying to tow 30,000 GCVW and you're at 500+ rwhp and you're just rodding on it. Which is still user error. You could have 800 HP on tap and still get a 650hp rated clutch to live. Just have to have that right foot figured out.

This clutch is 6 months old. Truck does spend some time in traffic everyday. Never off road saying now it's 2wd. I hardly ever even change the chip off stock or drive. Slave is also new when the tranny was rebuild 752.4 miles ago lol

might be trouble with the slave, I know ineed a new slave im going to do all the system this winter when I do a clutch, mine has a ew clutch but I can get on it and it push threw the clutch
if you have a new clutch and can push through it, you dont have enough clutch for what you are doing. the master cylinder and slave cylinder do nothing to the apply side of the clutch. they just release it.

as for the op, you have 2 threads on this going..... your best to only post on thread about the same topic, you get better answers that way.
use the red triangle to have the mods merge the threads.

howeever as i suggested in the other post you likely need a double disc clutch with the combo of you power, tires, and load.

you are pushing the limits of a single disk. they wont hold when you add stress like that. the ratings are usually for a specific set of conditions, ie that kinda power with a stock tire daily driving, it should work just fine, add the tires in, and ife expectancy drops. add the big loads and you kill the life of the clutch.

also it really matters how you take off with your clutch, slip it too much it will glaze the frictions, and cause massive issues with its "bite" of the pressure plate and fly wheel.


best shortest answer call southbend, tell them everything done to your truck and how often you pull heavy. if your going to exaggerate this is the time to, youd rather have a little more clutch then you think you need then not enough.....
