Detroit flywheel

Doing my clutch this week, 01 Detroit/ 13 spd. Won’t know for sure , about flywheel, till it’s apart. How common is it to need replacement? As far as I know,it’s only had 1 clutch job, I have over 2 mil miles on Truck. I think I’d rather replace, rather than resurface. If resurfaced, will I need an oversized clutch brake. Rather avoid that scenario. Want it like new. Dealer says He’s never sold one. Any thoughts, info appreciated.

 

The manual says yes International # 2 compound on threads. Or equivalent, never heard of that. Same as Lock tite maybe ? Also torque 55 lbs plus 60 degrees

 

Manuel says cut .020 maximum, I got an install kit. 925-25 2050# clutch, still need rear seal and scuff cover, and motor mounts Atro silicone shot already, only 4 yrs old. Maybe from all the oil on them. Got to reseal rear cover too. Found a new flywheel near home $280. Maybe Chinese junk? Am I missing anything? Was going to change starter, mines original. Now I hear New Delco lightweights aren’t any good.

 

I didn’t like the looks of that selinoid, or the little wire either. If I buy one, I’ll go with Mitsubishi. Is it a new style lightweight ? I Wouldn’t mind another same as original, or get mine rebuilt. It’s been smoking a few times. Jumped straight from battery, a dozen times, made a funny noise for a while after that. Then returned to normal. Lol
