    I have a prostar that's heavy spec 500 isx 2050 rtlo20918A as3.

    it has a hydraulic clutch and eaton recommends the solo advantage but lists the easy pedal advantage as well.

    Anyone ran both and have some feedback? I haul 140,000lbs.

    The reason they suggest a Solo is due to it being more difficult to manually adjust with the slave cylinder assembly limiting access. Solo clutches are great right up to the point they refuse to self-adjust because they get gummed up with clutch dust/dirt/oil etc.

    That's my experience to. Solo was perfect for 500k miles, and then I had to have it replaced due to not being able to adjust it.
