#5 fuel plate, tuned afc/star wheel, bhaf, and straight pipe. 350+rwhp and 750+lbs of torque= lots of pulling.

Ya true a GOOD clutch if you are pulling will be a saviour. Truthfully these cummins are AWESOME for pulling right out of the factory. But with a few simple, cheap mods they are pulling-machines.

Ok I just reread the first post, by pulling are you talking about a sled or trailer?

As soon as anyone says pulling my first thought is a sled
