    What are the options for clutches? I think mine might be on its way out and I’m looking around for higher torque rating. I’m running a C15 acert with 16:1 compression and a tune. It runs at around 55-59psi, plenty of power. I don’t abuse it, but I would like a clutch that would last. I know about the 2050 Eaton clutch, that’s the standard and I heard of people running plenty of power through them. I also know about the PDI 2400lbs clutch. Just wondering if there’s anyone else that make good clutches that will run reliable and not break my leg trying to use it daily.

    Eaton Easy Pedal. I have 1650 ft-lb torque engine, but went with a 2000+ft-lb torque Easy Pedal (don't remember exact torque rating) instead of a 1700 ft-lb. It's easy to push in. I'm told by my mechanic whose very experienced that they hold up fine.

    I have a truck that comes to my shop similar numbers to the op and a 2250 eaton clutch won’t hold it reliably once things glaze up a little. i don’t know what to recommend just sharing that.
