Default Valair or South Bend

hey everyone let me start out with the truck. 2009 single cab drw 33'' tires smarty stays on 100 hp tune and 5" turbo back. the stock clutch has started slipping in gears 3-6 and I have been researching both valair and south bend. I occasionally pull trailers 7-10k. which of these two brands do yall prefer and why?

Both have a good product. The Valair Quiet DD is a big improvement over their standard version for the G56. Remember to switch the fluid to DELVAC 50 so that you can get rid of most of the gear roll over noise.

I didn't have a very good experience with south bend when my dual disk came apart and cracked my trans and adapter plate said it wasn't there fault but warranted the clutch but woul dn't stand behind the damage there clutch caused when it had at minimal 1/4" of slop in every direction. So I would go val air just from my experience.

All peter would tell me is the reason why my g56failed is because all g56 trannys are junk that's all there is to it is what he said the clutch being out of balance did not cause the cracking. but if that's true I did some extreme launches in reverse cause that's the only time you could tell something was wrong going forward the trans would not spread apart but in reverse it would torque other direction and about throw you through the windshield like you dumped the clutch
