[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1383935, member: 9096"] I have a southbend 13125 in my truck... they claim it's conservatively rated for 475hp, and I don't quite agree with that unless it's just an occasional number. One thing I noticed is they grab less as they get hot, so you slip it hard once going into 4th (a big step on a 5 speed) on a hill and loaded and it'll start slipping, but recover when it cools down. They used to be noisy clutches with a design they had a while back, it was also problematic, and I was shocked with their warranty.. I was under my truck fixing my starter this spring and there was a piece of shim from the clutch hub hanging out of the little gap between the bell housing and adapter plate, I told them about it, fully expecting to be told to go pound sand, the clutch had been in the truck for 5 years.. The sent me a new clutch including the shipping for free!.. New clutch is much quieter. I put a NV5600 in it now and reverse is so bloody low it's not funny.. I suggest sticking it in 4L when backing up if your reverse is too high in high range... If the current clutch doesn't last I'd also suggest a street type dual disk clutch.. they don't like speed shifting with the extra rotating mass, but they engage much nicer and with less pedal pressure than an equivalent single. If the previous owner turned the wick up on the truck, do you know if he put it on a dyno and got some numbers? I just had my truck on the dyno, 1000 ft lb @ 2250, 440 hp from 2200 to 2800 RPM totally flat [/QUOTE]
