Star Clutch help

I own a 2001 2500 Dodge cummins 5 speed. I can tell that my Clutch is starting to go out. The truck has around 255,000 miles and a hual a 4 to 6 horse trailer on a weekly basis. I would like advice on what type of clutch I should get. The truck as some after market parts such a a small 50 horse power chip. I don't need to go fast I just want to be able to pull and not worry about losing my clutch. i would really appreicte any help at all. I'm new on this slight as well. So far it's pretty swell. Thank you so much guys and gals!

Is that all the performance mods you want to do? A good single disk from SouthBend will work just fine. Dont need anything passed 350hp if all you have is that chip. If you want to spend a little extra and get a double disk that is always the best because the have alot more clamping force and will last forever. I have a 500hp rated single disk in my 2000 and its grabby as hell. I should of got a double disk.

south bend is amazing... my truck stays hooked to either a 32 foot flatbed or 32 foot steel cattle trailer... with all my mods i've never slipped it once... put about 100,000 on the clutch... its a medium dual disc... the 3600 or something like that..

Moved to the Dodge section as this thread doesn't belong in the distress section... Carry on.
