Default Newbie to Diesel Bombers sick 5.9 cummins

Have a 2006 Dodge 3500 4x4 Quad Cab Dually w/Cummins and 6 spd manual tranny. Building a flatbed for it, use it for pulling a 20' gooseneck stock trailer and a 26' equipment/hay flatbed trailer. Had to get my CDL in order to legally pull them out of state. Currently its parked with what I think is a bad injector and a broken flywheel. It shudders horribly from about 1250 rpm to 1700 rpm then settles down. Fuel mileage did not seem to change and it is not smoking. Oh well, will get it fixed at a local diesel shop after the taxes are done. Miss not driving it.

Yep, I figure that while its in the shop I should have a bigger and stronger clutch installed. I contacted South Bend and Peter suggested the SDD 3250-GK. The clutch comes with every in the bellhousing (which I think includes the flywheel) and complete HD hydraulic assembly. My clutch was doing some strange things while pulling the trailer hauling a Kubota M9000 tractor in PA. We drained the fluid and replaced it with new and its been working better, but it sure smelled bad for a while, almost smoked it.
