SignUp Now!I'm somewhere around 1500 miles on mine so far.
Pro's -
quicker revs (makes for easier shifting as the motor doesn't stay at high RPM as long and will start falling sooner)
better hold
Con's-
Clutch is noisy at 1500-1900 RPM
I would definitely get the upgraded TO bearing if you can afford it. And be careful during the break in period. I burned mine a little bit, thanks to an idiot driver who decided to ride my ass at a sloped stop light.
And be patient, it will be like driving a different truck after the install, so it may take a few days to get used to it.

you have to get use to it.. its almost learning to drive a clutch again... well its because you are... just like if you get in someone else car and drive...:smile:
I didnt go with the aluminum one for 3 reasons. I like the strength of steel as compared to aluminum, it just gives me a little more peace of mind. Also, I feel like the alumium one would almost be too light. A little bit of weight is a good thing. But the biggest reason is that the aluminum one has replaceable friction pads, which is nice, but adds a lot more pieces to the flywheel. More pieces means more stuff in there to come loose, break or fail in some way. Even if its not very likely.Ok I see ya'll doing the steel lighten fly wheel...but any of you doing the Aluminium fly wheel? Or just the steel light wieght one? I know the Aluminium is much more in price wise.
If you have a shudder when u drive with the new flywheel...if is warped it can cause a ballance issue for sure... but think of this too...Now the truck is designed with about a 30lb or so flywheel if i'm correct here? Know your going done to a 18lb or 15lb flywheel...that changes the ballancing of the engine mass....Like myself i would look into having you engine internals ballanced with the new flywheel and clutch setup...Only if thats possible to do... You your engine is turning smoothly and your not loosing any HP from it, but yeah its going to cost some money to do this for sure!
Rob....scouts out

The shudder thing, mine shuddered like fvck for a few months after the install. It also would scream at me if I tried to take off from a stop pretty fast. It eventually smoothed out and is like stock now. I dont know if something was out of whack and eventually smoothed out or what, but its absolutely fine now.
Did you properly adjust the clutch release point after the installation?
