Default Good Clutch To Hold A 6-Speed?

I have a 03 d-max w/ a 6-speed. Ive owned the truck for about 6 months now, and the clutch slips in the last three gears, but goes to normal after pumping. Ive replaced it twice with the stock clutch, and the last time i did the slave and master with it. It starts to slip after a few days, does anyone no of a little heavier duty one, that can handle alot of abuse from pulling heavy loads.(and alittle playing) Anything is appreciated.

A Valair or a SouthBend Clutch will do the trick.

Are you running any tuners on your truck, tell is more about it

I think the truck has a programmer on it when i bought it and I put a 5 in straight exhaust. But I pull a 40 ft trailer and gross heavy, and use it everyday for work. So it gets alot of wear and abuse.
