clutch kit recommendations 86 f350
#16
The 6.9 clutches are even less. Go to RockAuto, look up 1986 F350 6.9 diesel manual transmission parts. The LuK rep set 12" upgrade Luk07065 is $96.79. Then look up flywheels, the LuK LFW386 is $134.99. Total 231.78 plus shipping. But you will need the 6.9 bellhousing. As tjc mentioned, the 4 speed is pretty horrible for highway use. Without overdrive the poor diesel really screams especially if you have low axle gears. Mine has 4.10's and the previous owner added a gear vendor overdrive to make a 3.20 final drive ratio. 75 mph is do-able but I'm still reaching for another gear... So I'm getting a ZF plus the GVOD to off set the 4.10's. An overdrive transmission and 3.55's is another good highway combination. Just something to consider. The IDI's rev out at a lot lower rpm than a gasser so you won't be going anywhere fast with a T19.
I just ordered the clutch and flywheel from rock auto that you recommended! Now i need to get brake lines and fuel lines! hopefully I will have the old thing moving under its own power this spring!! Thanks for the helping finding the clutch that I needed!

Oh man!! I have a centerpiece DF from the 460 that came out of the truck that has minimal wear and grabbed like a bear!!! Oh well I'll just hold on to it for a future project. Thanks though! All new stuff in there now.
