Clutch gone bad!

So after a very long time my clutch finally gave out on me...and before i get the "Have you tried chaning the slave cylinder?" the answer is yes its only a few months old ... i think its the actual clutch this time seeing as it is hard to shift and makes a horrible noise when shifting like it gets stuck when the clutch is pressed in so now its time to go ahead and put in a new one. The question that i have is the Clutch from the dealer my best route... i already have it priced out, but before i go for it im just wondering if theres anything better out there for me as far as name brand and if u guys have any suggestions on what i will need or any special tool i would appriciate the replys ... Thanxs again ppls

if you plan on doing some semi serious mods in the future perhaps upgrading the clutch would be wise, if you tow and whatnot

I like the LUK clutch, others like the Southbend, either of these beats the pants off of the Dual Mass..

Which ever way you go, do yourself a favor and do the Kevlar pilot bushing..

For common stuff like a clutch this question has been re-cycled more times than can be counted easily.
Try the search feature near the top of this page and it will give you a ton of information.

Nice! well im going to go ahead and tear into the truck in a minute ...i found the south bend website only thing is it doesnt give any pricing info ... i guess in my case if i go with a performance clutch the Con O kit would work if its to much out of my price range ima have to go with the stock ...Sucks when u know there is something better out there

Southbend has a great diesel reputation. They hold well with a great warranty. I would recommend a good clutch and be done worrying about it.

I can work out something. Overnight on that much weight is quite pricey. Give me a call if you want and we'll talk about it.
