Clutch for the Dodge diesel??????

I thought getting a clutch kit for my 93 D350 was going to be easy till I checked around. Dodge wants $1,100.00 Napa want $511.00 and then I found Southbend clutch "Dynamax" and they have one for around $400.00 Does anybody have any advise on which way to go here? I don't want to cut any corners with replacing the clutch but at the same time I don't want to over pay either. Thank for any information you can give me!

We use it to pull our camper. Other then that it stays in the garage. I'll drive on the weekends now and then. But at the same time I want to be able to use it in what ever way that might be needed and not have to worry about burning the clutch up.

I am running a SBC Con-O clutch in my '93 and it is the best clutch I've had by far. The launch shudder is gone and the clutch works better with each passing day. My truck is a daily driver that pulls my trailer in the summers. Peter at SBC redefines customer service. Good luck.<br>Bob

GC:<br> For what it's worth Jeff and Harvey at STP have parted ways. Jeff has a new shop in McDonough. Garmon Diesel Performance. He is selling the SB clutches He has about 12 on the shelf. That would be a close install and Peter will warranty the clutch almost forever.<br><br> Give him a call.<br><br>..Preston..
