New Clutch

Well I finally got my truck running good with the new 99-03 turbo and the adrenanline HPOP. It runs like a beast now. Lots of power! What a difference! The only problem now, is that my clutch is slipping when I get on it.

Where is a good place to buy a good clutch kit, and what other parts should I replace while I am in there? Clutch fork? Hydraulic cylinder?

With your early 99 build you will want to install the updated clutch fork. As for the hydraulics, you can use your original system. A lot of people will recommend the SouthBend clutch. When I put in my LuK clutch from Carolina Clutch, I also replaced the transmission front input shaft seal. It had been slowly leaking for a while and was easy to replace. Other than that, I think you'll be good to go.

I went with the Valair clutch, replaced the clutch fork with the updated one from Ford. Like Rich said use your original hydraulics unless you got an extra 150.00 bucks that ya just got to get rid of.

Yessir, he carries Southbend, and last I heard he was maybe working something out with valair. He has already left for his trip down here for RRE but i'm sure he will be back online before too long, or he'll return a call when he can. The best customer service and prices i've delt with.
