    Thanks for the heads up.
    I hate wrestling that trans out of there so I surely don’t want to do it twice.

    well we have put two in our trucks so far and its too early to tell.

    I would have alway bought Eaton or the best cuz nobody likes pulling tranmissions.. But the rep that sold them to us brought the chief in command of Alliance clutches up to our shop to convince us to buy them.. i guess he convinced us enough to try them. they are a better clutch than a Paccar clutch. Aand according to the chief of Alliance clutches the Alliance is the last good clutch.

    For a decent price.

    But a big thing with clutch life is how carefully its installed (0 tolerance twist in clutch plates). Also the flywheel and bell housing runout needs to be checked..

    Lol. a bobtail member offering sage advice.

    You see the reason is, is i have so many questions to ask on this site. But the way this thing is set up i apparently have to give advise before i can recieve it(6 posts must be posted before i can ask anything). Usually life works the other way.

    I will let you know how these clutches preform here for us running mountains 63500kg gvw.
     
    Hulld Thanks this.
