Default South Bend 13125-OFEK - slippage ?

I went to a friends shop where we installed a new flywheel, SB CON OFE clutch and new pressure plate... all bolts were torqued to spec...

Since i had to break it in and i have a habit of being VERY impatient i slid the #0 plate all the way back while breaking it in and detuned my AFC...

now after 2000km (just to be sure) i slid my fuel plate back full forward, and tuned the AFC again...

now i sometimes get a "metal to metal squeaking" sound when i get really hard on it, only happens in 4th gear and when it happens i get right off it.... havent tried it in 5th yet...

is this the Feramic side of the clutch slipping ???

has not happened very often, tonight was the 4th time overall i've noticed this..

has anyone had a similar experience ?

from what I understand, its very important to break it in properly. But, if you broke it in and your inside the ratings on the clutch I'd get a hold of your dealer if its actually slipping. If you got it from a good local dealer, head down there. I've heard SB has awesome customer service and if its not working how it should, they will help you out.

I broke it in, it's the truck in my sig... i don't think it's breaking the 475hp spec...

i even slid back the plate and detuned the AFC to be 100% sure on breaking it in...

I've not pulled anything on it yet, but i did put a ballast in the bed to help with grip on icy roads and i didn't drive it hard with the ballast on it...

i got it from KT Performance, and had to ship it to ICELAND so im not sure if it will be a easy claim IF it comes to that :P
