I didn't think they made a HOt juice for the 03-04 trucks. If so my stock 05 clutch held it but I only had 125 miles on the truck when I put it on. If you have slipped it much or burnt it so it is glazed my guess it won't hold.

yeah, they make it for the 03-04 trucks, u just have to send it to edge for them to put it in... there's no code to punch in... it takes about 2 weeks for them to do it, and $100...

BTW, how did ur MPG do on urs with it? and does it smoke alot when its turned up?

One way to find out, and even if it does slip, turn it down a tad until you have some money for a clutch...

My mpg were about the same. When in higher levels it went down do to the lead foot lol. I would send it in for it and have it for when you want it then. I remember now that they did offer it. I t is like the juice/ez stack. IT adds a little pressure too. I had a brain fart sorry about that.

Just for reference I never slipped my clutch not even once. Then I downloaded the Smarty 130hp program and boy did it slip. It was almost smoking after using it for 1 minute. So most likely the HOT will smoke your clutch. Save that $100 twards a clutch upgrade. Because what good is extra power if it slips your clutch every time you get on it.

P.S I only have 50K on my 03

My Hot juice did not slip my stock clutch. The power does not come on until things are spooled and it has a certain rpm and then it flies. I couldn't slip mine until I stacked the Diablo then that extra fueling down low made the clutch start having troubles.
