clutch life

I've just bought a 1994 F-250 4x4 with th 7.3 idi turbo and a 5 spd, and I was wondering how many miles a clutch will last on average? I know that it is very dependent on the type of driving, stop & go, towing, off roading, plowing snow and so on.The truck has 230k which is not bad for the year. I am just selling my 1992 f-250 4x4 with a 351 that has 425k on it. See with my dad's business we've had about 5 diesels with over 400k on'em and had one driver with over 800k. Half of the miles on all of our trucks were towing 6 to 13k. We've never had a 5spd before only auto's, and I am suer that it's on at least it's second clutch. It only has a light duty hitch on it and doesn't have a goosenech hitch. Thanks Guys

every body drives differently. The more it slips and the more heat you make in the clutch during disengagement, the quicker it will wear.

Got 220kkm on my 93 turbo and the clutch is still doing fine. My only clutch problems have been with the crappy master cylinder, cylinder rod, and firewall cracking.

I had a 1987 f-250 4x4 6.9 5 spd. It had about 180k on it when I replaced the clutch. the clutch disc was ok but the fingers on the pressure plate were wore clear out and would not disengage no more.
