turbo spooling up or clutch?
I bought (new) a 2009 Dodge Cummins 2500 Diesel, 34K miles, 6 speed standard transmission 3.42 Axle Ratio. I've driven standards all my life, so i know how to drive a standard and not abuse a clutch. It usually happens when I'm in 4-6 gears, but when I'm above 1500RPM and really get into the throttle, you can hear the turbo spool up. the problem I'm having is the RPM's shoot way up (usually jump 1K+), you hear the turbo wind up and without getting out of the throttle, it spools back down to where the turbo sounds 'normal'. i can't tell if it's the turbo not engaging when it's supposed to or over revving, or if it truly is the clutch. everything that's not cosmetic is stock on this truck. we're not resting our foot on the clutch pedal, we don't abuse our truck in any way, we like it and baby the hell out of it. but this has been going on for about 6 months now, not getting any better or worse, wanted to get your opinion before the dealership tried to blindside me with their usual BS!! Thanks

clutch slip sounds like replced mine at 15k went to a single south bend smoked it about 50k now got double south bend i would stay away from the stock clutch if u replce it (dodge prolly wont replace it wouldnt replace mine at 15) and get a south bend single disk clutch if you dont have big plans for the truck just pulling trailers and such just my thought
