i called on a south bend for my 98 12v and i realy want it but its $1075 for the kit i just wanted to know if anybody else makes a clutch that is comparible maybe a little cheaper also oem replacement is out of the question and i want it to be made in america cause im sick of sending my money overseas for junk parts also my truck is not a power monster i just do some heavy hauling it got pump upgrades and straight pipe

 

south bend is a great clutch, valiar also makes good clutches also from what I hear ( I have never owned a valiar).

 

im getting read to install a south bend dd in a 07 common rail 3500 that does alot of heavy towing with a bully dog pmt ill let you know how it works. i know its pricey but a good clutch is worth it. they come with a flywheel and everything else so you do get alot. ive seen an rps clutch for a supra cost 2200 dollars but it also will hold 1500 hp all day

 

i love my southbend clutch i dont think you can beat them. not to mention i had a big problem installing mine in my conversion, and peter at south bend walked me through everything and helped me out bigtime. theyre customer service is definitely second to none

 

my buddy has a valiar in this truck and i like it alot better then my southbend

 

I got a 3600 DD Valair in mine and love it, took a little while to break in but almost feels as good as a stock one now. My wife doesnt have any problems handling it either.

 

you get what u pay for south bend is the best on the market it is totally worth it and there customer service is the best IMO

 

how much is the valair and do they go from 12 1/4 to 13 inch like the south bend

 

Valair has a 13" Single Disc Cermic Clutch Kit rated @ 400hp.
