South Bend Hands down.

If he really wants a good clutch get a Dual Disk From South Bend.

Wel after a chat with tim strobel at a pul recently I learned a lot about Duramax Clutches.

Not sure what he puts out for power but it is a full blown pulling only truck complete ith built motor and water intercooler.

Now his other truck was the one we talked about. It is used to be his puller until they built a new one. Not sure what that truck had for power but he ran a GT42 turbo and was always at the top of the class.

I cant remember all of the clutch names he tried but the first one was too big and didnt fit. Then the net one was too small so the throout bearing was always halfway engaged.

Then he tried a south bend but the lack of adjustment led to a burnt up clutch after 7 hooks.

Cant remember what he runs now but it runs good.

That was helpful LOL
Kinda like saying I heard this joke about a Nun, a Rabbi and a dildo. I don't remember how it went but it was funny.


Edit: I just re-read my post, and actually just putting Nun, Rabbi and dildo in the same sentence is kinda funny. Maybe not the best analogy.
