time for a clutch

I am getting some random clutch slippage. It last for about a week and then goes away for about a month or so. This don't seem right to me. I have intake, turbo back stacks, ww, and of cousre a DP with 140 aggressive. I am not planning on getting any more major hp upgrades for a while. My truck is a daily drive and I do some pulling aroung the farm.I have heard about south bends, and Luk any others. What do you guys recommend for my set up? Thanks for the input.

Intermittant slippage could be caused by a fuel or oil leak in the valley and leaking into your clutch housing and saturating your disc. Had it happen to me. Ordered a new clutch from Southbend and by the time it got here I had the fuel leak fixed and the clutch disc dried out and was working as good as ever. I put the new disc in anyway and have saved the old disc.
