clutch fork failure

hey guys , about a year ago i replaced my clutch on my early 99 f350 4x4 dually and i think i used an upgraded fork due to some advice that i got but im not sure. well needless to say, mine just broke in half. does the upgraded fork come from ford or is it aftermarket? how can i tell if thats the one i got?any body got any advice? i really dont want to pull this tranny every year.

thanks
kevin

When we did the clutch in my SIL's early 99 F350 CC diesel last year we replaced the clutch fork. Also the pivot bracket. I got the parts (OEM Ford) from PartsGuyEd. The upgraded fork was noticably heavier duty.

The old fork was starting to crack the bend about midway.
