I bet that lipe clutch is a b**ch to push and hold in.
You do not want to get stuck in traffic with it, my knee is still bothering me from the drive back from the rodeo in August, got stuck in 5 miles of stop and go.

They sit on 99% load hour after hour so they get no rest!!!

Original engine was a 855 360hp Cummins and no comaparison to this C16..
my C18 is only 760 HP

You should get an air assist for your clutch. All European trucks have air assisted hydraulic clutch and we use mostly stock clutches in our pulling and race trucks.

You get used to it in normal driving conditions and racing. It would have been nice to have air assisted hydraulic clutch in bracket races, last one I was in,I dialed a 15.6 and the truck beside me dialed 24.5, thats a long time to sit at the light waiting to drop.

Yes, I bogged it out of the hole on that pass. The engine must stay above 2000 or the turbo stalls. It took me a few passes to get the feel of riding the clutch for the first 60 feet or so.
