TS PERFORMANCE. GONNA NEED A CLUTCH I THINK

[strokinit2000]

Got my TS performance chip in. mods i currently have

wicked wheel
straight pipe exhaust
big air filter mod
boost fooler
hid headlights
billet grille
and ts 6 pos performance.

the factory clutch that is in my truck is only 4 months old. dealer ship put a new one in before i bought my truck.

when im in 3rd and i punch it. it slightly slips until around 2300 rpm and then grabs.

huuuuuuuuuuaaaa????
sounds like they may not have put in a good clutch oooooooorrrrrrrrrrr...
they didnt change it at all

[strokinit2000]

i got it changed at 5 star ford. I know they changed it cause the truck slipped even in 1st when i test drove it. and they work on my fleet cars there so i got to pretty much check in every few hours and watch the tech change it out.

soooo..... is it possible they didnt change the fly wheel? maybe its scored? thanks for the input keep it comin.

by the way. reguardless its gonna need a stronger clutch.

should the stock clutch hold up? or should i just upgrade it?

if your looking for a good quality upgrade check these out: ValAir Performance Diesel Clutches

reasonable prices and great products...

Yeah you will eventually need a new clutch even with just a TS chip and I have heard good things about ValAir as well, I would check em' out!

[strokinit2000]

wow thats a good price. what model should i get?

[Cjcross22]

Not sure, just make sure you get one that is rated for more HP than what you plan to make, that way if you get close to your ideal HP and add a new mod and go over that you will still be good on your clutch.

[Raul@Stealth Automotive]

yah def get one higher than what your expecting to do.....
