noisy clutch?
I have a 94 crew cab dually that I put a banks turbo on ,that I really like, the miles show 155k . I'm getting a growling noise from clutch or trans when taking off and also going down the road , in any gear mostly when a load is on it . It started out just doing it when backing up a slight incline but now does it all the time. The clutch engages smoothly and trans shifts good . Does any one have any ideas? Really enjoy FTE!

I assume you do not get the noise with truck stationary and trans. in neutral. I assume you also do not get the noise with all the above but the clutch pedal depressed.
That being the case I would check the drive shaft universal joints and the wheel bearings and the differential fluid.

If you are getting noise in all gears and not stationary I would check the transfercase and rear. Are you getting any vibration.

What about doing the "Lucky mod" and just converting it to a SMF (Single Mass Flywheel)? That would be tons cheaper yet!

The noise is called gear rollover noise. With the SMF, you will get the noise in neutral and at idle. When I installed my 5-speed, I opted for the SMF. I over filled the transmission with a total of two gallons of ATF. There is some noise at idle, but it's really not that bad. With the DMF's being so prone to failure and so expensive, I did not want to take that risk. I can live with a little noise once in a while.
