no with the 3200 pressure plate it is recommended but not necessary, once you go to the 3650 pressure plate is when the say the hydraulic upgrade is required...but yes they do run about 250 for the upgrade

 

Haisleys have a really good clutch as well.. Their street puller DD kicks ****.. I dont have one in my truck, but i have a couple friends that have them and i drove my buddies 05 and it shifts a LOT better than my stock clutch AND he doesnt have upgraded hydraulics.. it isnt needed with their clutch.... and they are rated at 3600# i believe.. The pedal is alot softer than my stock clutch as well... A few of them have had SBCs before and were very disappointed with them.. I am going with a Valair DD when mine ***** the bed..

Also Haisleys have triple AND four disc clutches as well.. Another buddy that has an 01 puller, he is running a Kenny's triple disc and then there is a Super Street truck running around here i BELIEVE is running Kenny's 4 disc...

 

Well last thursday I ordered a south bend dd w/ the hydraulic upgrade. The guy on the phone said it would handle anything I had for it right now. But will I need to do anything other than have the flywheel resurfaced?

 

Change the pilot bushing.

 

Thanks everyone for giving me some feedback on this. Parts are going in tonight, hoping everything goes as planned. Thanks again to all that have helped w this.
