Ended up final settling with a single disk southbend after $1000s of dollars and warrenty issues. Not knocking SB but I would look around, do your homework....maybe mine were built on a monday.
Yepper you are no doubt the exception to the rule that NONE of us wish to become..........don't know why you were so dog gone unlucky, seems like it happens that way though...one guy gets all the grief while everyone else enjoys....no rhyme or reason to it...just is.....

I sold hundreds of those clutches without any issues, even sold a BUNCH of them to replace the copycat Vendor who uses inferior parts in his copies with happy customers all.........

I am just glad you are finally doing well with the place you ended up and I hate your experience went the way it did.

Well I didnt get a DUAL FRICTION. I just had to settle for the ole run of the mill standard 3250. I think Top pulled a fast one on me and sent me a bunch of his old stock......





Seriously though, the standard 3250 is really manageable and makes for nice daily driving that puts the TQ to the rears when you need it. With the upgraded hydraulics, I can drive mine, and Dads bone stock truck back to back and not tell a bit of difference in pedal pressure.

Report back in guys how the new dual friction handles the day to day.

So how does that work for North of the border seeing as the "official" SBC supplier has dropped the ball?
