Transmission rated at 1650tq and clutch rated at 1850tq…

For starters we dont know what trans you have because you didnt tell us. Just (Ultrashift)........ or even what truck/engine.

Sounds like you already have your mind made up. Dont let us try and talk you out of it.

 

I have two trucks with 1650 transmissions and 1750 clutch. Both turned to 1850.
Unless you haul heavy in the hills a lot, extra 200lb of torque is totally fine

 

Yes, always

 

OP, the obvious answer is no.


If you need a heavy spec truck to move a massive load, trade that truck in on a heavy spec.

 

200 ft lbs and 100k plus wouldn't bother me one bit with a good driver.

Id never pull a good working trans till it needed replaced or rebuild. Not for such a small change.

I've had a 2150 ft lbs N14 at a million miles with small main driveshafts.

If your a bad driver, I dont care how you "bulletproof it". They will still destroy it.
