Just put one in this truck and am wondering if it was a good move. Was it or is there a better one?

I have run a Southbend Clutch in several of my 5.9/6.7 Cummins trucks. I have installed even more in my customers trucks. The biggest complaint anyone has ever had was how stuff the pedal is versus the stock clutch pressure plate. With an aftermarket clutch you have to expect the pressure plate spring to be pretty stuff.

All of my clutches have given good life and have held a ton of horsepower and torque.

I have used the Southbend Clutches in some 825HP/1640ft.-lb 5.9's and I have used several for 6.7 trucks that made 700+HP and over 1300ft.-lbs of torque and the trucks are daily drivers.
