Most of you have seen my problems ive been having this week. Now lets top it off right now. After my CPS was successfully installed and got my running again now i believe i have a clutch problem!!

While im driving down the road around 15-2500 RPS and i step on the fuel pedal my RPMs will go up and ill stay the same speed then in about 2 long seconds ill finally start accelerating.

Does this sound like a clutch to you guys? When I pull out from a dead stop it grabs and gets me going when I should. Could something i replaced be causing it to act funny?

If it is a clutch I cant afford this. Ill need to find the cheapest one possible.

 

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but it sounds like your clutch is slipping.

 

What is the size and specs of the clutch i need? Has anyone got a cheap one thats relitively decent for a stock truck? Im having a hell of a time finding one. I dont have $600 for a South Bend

 

Call Mr. Clay: Riffraff Diesel: Clutch Only Rep Kits

 

If i get a clutch do i already have a "Solid Flywheel"? And Can i put any clutch on my original flywheel? (given that it is the correct size, im refering to HP and TQ ratings when i say ANY)

 

Like Ponyboychris said give clay a call he will be able to help you out.

 

are you sure there is no oil or fuel getting the clutch wet?? a wet clutch will slip as well...if its dry down there then your going to have replace the clutch

 

Well today i drained my fuel bowl about 3 or 4 times from full and i over filled it when i put the filter in it gushed out. Is that a possibility?

 

the draining shouldnt be if the drain line is attached but the overfilling when adding new filter could be the problem.

 

I lost about a Cup full in a full 360 area of the bowl. I sure hope thats it. Im scared to drive home tonight.

 

I just took out my 10K resistor mod and test rove my truck only a short distance tho. It didnt seem to slip like it was so im not sure if it dried out or the mod was doing it. IT sure felt like i was riding a bicycle tho SLOW and no SPEED. My mod never made it slip before... Im confused?

 

How many miles on the truck? Has the clutch been replaced before? Mine started to slip just as you've described around 212,000 miles. Go easy on the skinny pedal and you can limp it along for a while. I wouldn't be afraid to drive it. The slipping will slowly get worse as things wear out more until you finally can't go. It won't be a sudden, the truck won't move anymore.

I drive mine a few hundred miles after it started to slip till the weekend got here and I could get it changed. I could have gone much longer, but didn't want to wait. I wouldn't tow any loads between now and when you replace it.

 

This past July I replaced the clutch on my f350. I just got some friends, followed the repair books steps and did the job. I think the clutch itself from a local Auto Value was $360.00. I was able to borrow a tranny jack. The job is pretty straight forward. The bottom line is that the best way to know what is going on is to pull the tranny and take a look. I would have probably hooked up with Clay but he was heading off to RRE at the time and I needed the clutch now. Just an encouragement to go for it!

 

Well i only have 150,000 I bought it with 109,000 so im not sure what it has for a clutch in it. I know 3 years ago i put 100HP to it with an edge evolution and it NEVER felt the same since. (I also learned to drive a stick in this truck)

 

I have had the same thing happen. I would just drive nice and easy for a bit and see if it comes back around.
