How heavy is the flywheel on these babies ?
 

How heavy is the OEM flywheel ?? 30-40kg ????

Is there any weight difference between the OEM and the SB 13125-OFEK one ?

nobody ?

has nobody got any info on this ?

there proabaly 30-40 pounds, and yes the southbend one is heavier

I know the flexplate is relatively light for a diesel part. I was expecting more metal but the main body of the OEM was pretty thin. As for the fly wheel I can't imagine them putting much more strength behind it. besides the added weight of the surface for the clutch to hit.

i dont rember what my stocker was but my valair is probaly close to 45-50#

wow, this is all heavy duty !

how heavy is the tranny and how heavy is the transfer case...

tranny is prolly 250 pounds with oil and the t case is 60-70 pounds prolly

depends on the t case and tranny :) I know the 271 t cases are a good bit heavyer than the 241's:c:

My South Bend DD shipping weight was 118lbs. That was the Pressure plate, clutch Disks and Flywheel.

NV4500s are 250ish
NV5600s are 360ish
G56s are 250ish
241 T-case is 100lbs
271 T-case is 120lbs

All the above are from DodgeRam.org

I would have to say a 47re(without fluid) is around 150-180lbs. That's using my calibrated method of grabbing onto it and heave ho.

sb's flywheel is heavy but i got it on and it's not that it is really heavy its that u have to hold it up and start the bolts in thats the hard part

i'm not worried about being able to hold these things, i'm a regular strongman competitor, came in 2nd in Icelands Southwest regionals this summer...

i was just wondering how heavy they are, wondering if i should put it on a lift or if i could do it lying on the floor and if the flywheel was perharps lighter than OEM (not sure what effect it would have on a diesel but i put ltw flywheels on two of my BMWs and i thought they made better throttle response.)

use a lift and transmission jack it will make life ten times easier. ive tried it with the truck on the ground and also with a lift.
on they lightweight flywheel i would be a little worried if it would handle the torque of a diesel. most aftermarket flywheels i have seen for diesels are heavier than oem

Yeah my valair dd weighed right around 125 pounds

the flywheel is heavy. I'm not real big but of decent strength and have a hell of a time getting it on alone.

stcok flywheel weighs about 61 lbs

i want to say my ofe kit was 90 pounds and 50 or 55 of it was the flywheel (separate boxes and going off memory)
