Clutch time
I'm getting a grinding noise at times, and a funky howling when I press in on the clutch so I'm guessing it is clutch time. I have a predator tuner, and the other stuff, so should a stock clutch be fine?? or what comparable in a LUK or southbend?? I've heard horror stories about buying the "entry level clutch" and being chipped having them not want to hold up past 15-20k miles. Does my 00 4x4 stroker have a dampened flywheel?? What vendor has the best deals on clutches, or the best place to get one. Hate to dump a ton of money on a new clutch. THanks-77. Any idea on cost for aftermarket or stock clutch??

I wouldn't put a stock clutch back in it, they cost too much money for what you get. My standard LUK repset (<$600 from several forum sponsors) has about 50,000 miles on it now and shows no signs of wearing out at all.
You can spend double or triple that amount on a stronger clutch, but it would be overkill, your current mods are not enough to overpower the standard LUK....you pretty much have to have aftermarket injectors to do that.
Your 00 has a single mass flywheel.

Does the price
include a new fly wheel?
Why not just have the stock unit resurfaced?
Also - Do they make lightened flywheels like they do for gasser? Probably not a good idea with the relative high mass of the diesel.
And your saying that the clutch pictured is good for up to 350hp?
Thanks for the info as always. DVW
