alright, so i have 76000 miles on my truck, i would say that 85 to 90% of the drive time has been hooked to a trailer and loaded. i pulled a load of hay the other day and now i am getting a squealing noise coming from the tranny region which i assume is the throw out bearing. i still have good peddle on the clutch and it shifts fine. my question is can you just swap out the throw out bearing or am i pissing in the wind? and if i need to go ahead and swap the clutch and everything out what clutch would be recommended for my truck which is loaded with 20,000 lbs on a frequent basis. or should i just go back with stock clutch?

 

You have to pull the transmission either way. If money allows, I'd replace it with a good aftermarket clutch and have the flywheel reground.

 

well, money is not allowing at the time in place. thats why i am wondering if i can just swap out the throw out bearing "IF" the clutch and flywheel are in good shape, i have heard that they are having problems with the multi-disc flywheel

 

i put 3 throw out bearings in my 06 and only one time i had to put a clutch in it, and that was do to not bein able to get my truck in the shop for like 2 weeks

 

you have to get a new flywheel to use an aftermarket clutch...when u buy a clutch u get throwout bearing flywheel and clutch disc and pressure plate.....i would just replace it all at once
