. The reason this surprises me is that it is a valair ceramic clutch that is supposed to hold 600HP and my truck is making less than 500HP and the clutch only has apprx. 12,000 miles on it.
I believe Horsepower ratings mean just about nothing with clutches and diesel's, its more about the torque it can handle. These trucks are torque monsters, if your dropping about 500hp, then your looking at nearly 1,220lbs of torque, now 600 hp on a gasser maybe be 280lbs of torque.
your clutch could have worn out just from the torque your motor is running. Thus why a dual disk clutch will last longer, PLUS if you shift by taking your foot off the gas pedal and shifting at the right rpm you can avoid slippage on the clutch.
