Dont be mad if you have to replace the clutch... i had mine nreak the input shaft and create a pretty good mess. Clutches are cheap.. cost me 12.5k whenit was all said and done.
It felt a little sloppy.... and then boom... i also could have had an imput shaft bearing failure.. get a new 2400 ft/lbs clutch.. (2100?) Dont remember... but get the big one and have them check out the transmittion. Remans are only 4-4.5k and a year warrenty. But you should get 800-1,000k miles.. before major transmittion failure.
How many miles are on the truck?
Told the clutch needs replacing?

Just to update. The clutch did have a broken spring so it's getting replaced. Unfortunately the tranny inspection did not go well and he showed the inside of the gearbox to me so I'm putting a reman HD transmission and HD clutch in as well. Also...got the rear seal done as it was seeping, motor mounts and 2 ujoints. Figured it was cheaper to do it all now...including the tranny. It was already out so no extra labor really.
I knew the transmission was gonna need to be done but I was hoping to get another year out of it but no such luck. Oh well...that's the way she goes sometimes.
Anyway...thanks for the help guys. Maybe one day I'll be knowledgable enough to pay it forward.
baha Thanks this. -
