Quadzilla vs stock clutch
I've been running the Quadzilla Standard box off and on for about 2 years. I keep it on 60 most of the time. My fuel mileage is better at this setting as long as I stay out of it.
Today on my way home while entering the highway, I decided to move it to 100 and went WOT. When I shifted from 5 to 6 the engine revved way but but minimum acceleration. To me this means the clutch is slipping.
Bottom line: Quad 1 Clutch 0
This brings me to my next question. How much longer can I expect the clutch to hang around?
I only have 45000 miles on her, so if the clutch goes out fairly soon, I will still be covered under warranty. It's good to be friends with the dealer, service writer, and mechanic.

If you will read your warranty and if it is like mine it specifically excludes the clutch as it is like the brakes and tires and is considered an item that wears out.
Probably need to be looking at a SBC replacement, I think they start at about $700.

Clutch warranty was not but 12/12.BUT if it is written up correctly customer pays for dics portion,parts only as the rear seal,pressure plate,flywheel,pilot bearing are covered under the 7/70 if the truck came with 7/70 and rear engine seal is covered under the Cummins engine warranty(7/100) so the PEN can be mighty if you know what your doing.You follow.

Somehow I've only had one time that mine has slipped that I was aware off (I chalk it up to tire slip for the rest of the time). It took the 3rd time slipping the clutch off the line at the track on 140hp for mine to start slipping, and it has been fine since (knocking on wood right now), but I haven't been on it when I have to slip to move.
