    Lipe! With that engine and your plans a stock eaton wont do discs and springs in the discs wont take the torque for long!

    Yep. I second the Lipe clutch. Easiest clutch to adjust also.

    Alright i got the clutch taken care of an now theres this ASR anti slip light flashing on the overhead all the time an derating my motor! The new clutch slipped a time or two the first 250 miles but its been good since then. Is it possible its slipping just enough i cant tell it but the ecm can or is there some other problem i need to look for now? Faulty sensor somewhere maybe? Im not sure how the anti slip actually works an kenworth said it could be a number of things but wouldnt be much more specific!

    New clutch slipping? Didn't you get the flywheel resurfaced?

    Ya they said it may slip a little until it gets seated good an new grooves run in it.( ive been told that both times ive had a clutch replaced) It slipped a little 2 different times an i just lifted off a lil bit an it grabbed an eased back into it. I think its good to go now i just dont know why that light is flashing constantly. The only time the light isnt flashing is if im on the brake or settin still
