This is also a valid point to the convocation. I see this with jd joints and especially pins and bushings in equipment. Obviously their in alot harsher environment but same principle I would think...

Ram air hood scoop for AC! I like it! Maybe make the fins on the blower a tad larger? What's your resistance at the plug before it goes to motor? If any?

I have a pop tester at work for JD injectors, never rebuilt Cummins injectors... pretty easy? (We dont rebuild injectors @ JD)

That is odd... Just buy new, DAP or CPP Diesel. If you need cores I have a set...

I guess this is kind of my reasoning as well...Well put @AH64ID

Gonna have to prolly do this, among all the other things I need to buy, prolly wont have the cash to do replace what was on the truck... Furthermore, here is the old clutch again. Valair DD sintered iron competition pulling clutch... Old clutch...... Couldnt find the pic of the old throw out bearing, but it was junk... also the fork pivots need replaced lol... so new clutch... HAHA Still trying to find out which clutch to go with, I believe my only options are the 650hp rated DD from either brand....

286$ for new pump and lines from Geno's, 280$ Blue Top... vs maybe 50$ for rebuild kit on both? Couldnt find good PN#'s.. I rebuild tons of hydraulic pumps and motors, would think this would be cake since how small it is. The steering gear is just simple bearings and seals...So I say, never rebuilt one so I'm assuming... Id love to just buy new, and heard great review on blue top, but since Im about to drop alot of money on a clutch I think saving the cash would be best for my wallet and my wife's happiness! Any first hand experience with rebuilding these 2 items?

This is interesting, my vacuum, power steering, gear box is next on the chopping block. Prolly get by with just rebuilding them all? Just as good?

You need more ponies in that blower motor, maybe we can come up with a big bore kit...

I have always had mixed answers from guys, about 50/50 from sealed to zerk. I have always ran zerk ones (previously) but figure I'll try out the sealed ones next (now) lol. Where I work at (John Deere-yellow) that's all they have is sealed units. As far as brand, I dont really have specifics ive ran but I try and keep the spicers spinning Alot of help ain't I...

Do you have an article write up on the adjustment by chance?

Mine gets noisier when I push clutch pedal in....

@Mopar1973Man I read the thread on this and can agree, but it seems I'm stuck with a ceramic due to my setup mentioned above. I daily drove the comp clutch that was in it, also towed... So I guess anything would be better than its grabby-ness. Yall should have a look at the pics on my other thread that had the clutch pics on what I took out. So this clutch -1 is about the only option I think this clutch -2 is what I currently have.( I think ) Pics are on the other thread.

So aside from the neg ceramics comments from earlier, I will prolly have to get a ceramic clutch then... or just ceramic buttons? For plate load I think the last one I un-educatedly ordered years ago, I got a 3800.....

Well, like I mentioned brand doesnt matter really. I just havent been "schooled" on which facings/buttons to get or plate loads. And I feel stupid not knowing what "rated" clutch I should get for the current mods I have. All I know atm is I need a dual disk and AT LEAST a rating of approx. 600hp. Sorry for my lack of knowledge of this subject, just need to get this nailed down so I can order it today or monday. So if anyone could break it down for me barney style facings, plate load etc that would help me out. Thanks

Anyone got any clutch ideas for me?

Yes, I read the forum mentioned above and I think that wiould be a good bet and a safe one. I have had the trans pulled for awhile now, I know what clutch I had in it. I am just looking for advise on what clutch to go with the mods listed above. Sorry just re read your statement @Dieselfuture Unfortunately you cant tell which one you have with out pulling it then checking online or asking one of the manufactures via PN# if available.

Im not really sold on brand really. I have had one of each in a dual disk. So open to options there. noise doesnt bother me im used to the chatter lol... I am assuming the turbo is a super bee special 64/71/14, I have wrapped a 60psi gauge with it all set to kill. However I havent actually measured it but to the best of my knowledge I thought thats what the guy said... but we all know what assuming does.... I guess it really sucks I dont have correct knowledge of what i have to be asking these questions. But for how the truck acts and drives Im going with that. Im about to order this clutch and I want to be sure I get one that will hold and be reliable...

I'd like to see what others would suggest on what which clutch might be a good choice. I read the thread @Cowboy Doc mentioned and had some good info. I'm just lost on which one would work with my setup mentioned. Sounds like @Mopar1973Man replaces alot of them for guys, maybe he can give me some wisdom.

Use the @ then type the name it will pop up. @Cowboy Doc

Well it just so happens I have access to one Id have to go check and get pics but my father in law gave me a whole 98 1500 4x4 with a bad trans. the bed, fenders etc have alot of cancer I think. Dont wanna get your hopes up but I think its dent free just clear coat peel...

So Im looking for a new clutch I like working with DAP, so I emailed them this: Also need to figure out which clutch I need to get. When I bought the truck I was “told” it had a dragon flow vp44, 6x18’s, .093 lines and tubes, ham cam, springs, and 64/71/14 turbo and all the supporting mods and more. I did verify I have a valair competition dual disk (sintered iron) for pulling, I have taken all the electronics off of it and the only thing I havent verified is if the vp is infact a dragon flow… It does still have a ton of power so it might have it. I don’t plan on racing or pulling with this truck just a occasional driver or weekend truck and pulling a gooseneck with a skidsteer. I would guess the clutch would have to hold at least 600hp idk… and dual disk for towing. What do you think? What do you guys think? He put this on the quote: Valair Dual Disc Performance Replacement Clutch (Ceramic) 650HP NMU70NV45DDSN | 1989-2003 Dodge 5.9L Cummins With NV4500 or Getrag 5SPD SKU: VAL-NMU70NV45DDSN And yes I know it says for a nv4500... I need one for a nv5600... however... I really dont have a good estimate of what I might be close to on power. I dont want to get a new one and slip it cause I have to many ponies...

I have a non- sport bumper with fog lights just sitting in my shop lol. if youd like to come on down to Missouri...

I didnt see just the lug nut covers like yours? I have some 3rd gen 17" wheels that those might look good on.

Mine should still be under warranty I will call fass and ask them if I can get a spring maybe if that's covered... otherwise I plan on doing what's mentioned above.
