PDI vs Lipe

There is not heavier pedal pressure from a 2250 to a 2050, back when Eaton listed the clamping loads both clutches carry a plate load of 4000lbs, the only difference is the spline count in the 2250.

I have a 4800lbs plate load clutch in my K100 right now, it has no different pedal feel than the 3600lbs plate load clutch I took out.

 

Oh good to know

 

I used to put the 2250/2050 in large wreckers when I worked on a fleet of them. Both held up great. If they lived in them trucks, I always said if you tore one up in a road truck, your doing something wrong. Nothing to latch on to a set of double, triples or steel hauler and scream across the pike 3 shifts a day.

 

Lipe is all I use. Grossing from 120000 to over 150000 with a cat engine putting out some GOOOOOD hp. Easy adjust if you follow instructions. Never had an issue with them.

 

Besides your leg.

Only thing that the lipe held over the easy pedal is adjustability and plate load, now there are parts available to give the easy pedals the same if not higher plate load without taking a bionic leg to push them down.

The straight springs of a lipe will never be able to compete with the pedal feel of an easy pedal.

 

You know you are talking apples and oranges to some people. The Lipes familiar to me were single disc. You posted pictures of the double disc Lipes. Is the pedal pressure still high?

 

No more than a standard eaton.

 

I have way more hp than the OP and have an easy pedal 2050, install it couple of month ago and no problems at all, before that was an 1850 easy pedal that I managed to keep around for 5 years with no problems either.

 

I must be an odd one. LOL I prefer the (push) of the Lipe or regular clutch over the easy pedal. I like to feel what my clutch is doing.

 

I could deal with it. I just think the hard push is not only wearing out my knee (I'm 62 now) no knee problems, but it also works the clutch linkage, or should i say linkage joints, and pivot points more. Yeah i know small potatoes but it all adds up to wear over time. I run lots of two lane, not the big roads. Oh, never have had a problem with the "feel" of my clutches. But if you like lipe by all means buy lipe. Would be not good if we all liked the same things. Its all good.
