Everything looked nice and tight. Turned over by hand very nice. But, when they go to put the truck at 20k lbs GVW on Monday morning, we will see how well they did with the machining and rebuild process

Run6.0run, I think you're getting the same clutch setup I'm running, if so you are gunna love it. Holds like none other. It does stiffen up the pedal quite a bit though.

It's gonna b a great day,,, I hope. Just got off the phone with a good friend,,, he's got a hoist, two engine stands, and an atv lift for the trans. I'm in business. He doesn't buy junk either. He said 1000 lbs should b no prob. There's a bunch of money I don't have to spend. Crash, u have the Kevlar, ceramic clutch? It came with the flywheel right?

Im open for advice. Should I get the tools and go ahead???? Or let a shop do the total rebuild, then I can install it.

i googled blackwater, and i'd be a bit reluctant to run with
their long block.... you can google and see the same forum
feedback i did....

first and foremost, you live in that truck, from what it appears.
if you have a problem on the road, it's not a small concern.

is there someone local to you who is trustworthy, and will stand
behind their work?

Yes, Kevlar and ceramic. Came with everything including flywheel. Although my 05 came with a single mass flywheel. And +1 on the little plastic clip. I didn't know about it before I started.

You might want to have your local Ford dealer double check under the base part 7C522. What you want, is the KIT that includes the clutch master, line and slave cylinder with fluid in it and completely assembled already in the box. You will not need to bleed the system. Simply install it, and the very first clutch pedal application will set it up automatically.

I just double checked that part number for the entire hydraulic system kit. 6C3Z-7C522-C IS the correct part number that includes literally everything connected from the pedal to clutch fork.
