Clutch 6.9 IDI
alright, heres my thinking..
i towed a pretty light trailer yesterday up the pass(to hoodoo)
trailer was loaded with about 26 tire barriers(bout 50-60lbs each) and goin up when really pulling, i styarted to smell the clutch. we replaced is a number of years ago, but havent putt all that many miles on it(maybe 5-10k)
so i know the clutch is good, the problem, is it doesnt have the holding capacity needed for towing.
so my question is.. what brand/ type of clutch do i use for towing? i was thinking of switching to an EXEDY, but im not sure if its really that much better. i have experience with exedy clutches in my cars(used for racing and DD) and they are definitely better then stock, but not by too much.
any other ideas on this?

when you replaced the clutch, a new pressure plate got installed right? you shouldnt have that kinda issue on any aftermarket clutch for our truck. there are guys here pulling much larger loads on a number of different clutches.
