Hey Mike, what would make the C1 clutch pak go out of an Suncoast V after 8000 miles, with towing no more than 10,000 lbs. a couple of street races, no sled pulls, no burn out, Suncoast are supposed to warranty it, but I'm curious any thoughts. Have you ever hear of this before??? I've obviously spend my money wisely with quality parts and some advise from Mr. Tripp, I'm in my 40"s to boy has left me, I don't like to tear things up (LOL) No seriously just wondering it you had any comments, Thanks for all that you do for the diesel performance industry. I myself think it's great of you to give all us your time and advise.

Hard to say without inspection. My friend George at SC does a great job building the Alli and I talk to him all the time. Could be anything like a bad seal on the piston or even human error.

X2, what mike said:thumb:

Just had a set go out after 15k

Ok, thanks guys, George should get the tranny tomorrow afternoon, I should know something Friday afternoon. I'll post it for everyone to read, but I know that Suncoast has been nothing but helpful with this problem, Like I always say you can't get a good read of a man until they make a mistake, then you can see the true character of a man, So far Suncoast has been nothing but a gentlemen and I don't expect anything else from then on the outcome. They are a GREAT Company,

I will talk to George at SC and see what he found.

Hey, thanks Mike

Mike must have cloned himself in order to take care of everything he deals with on a daily basis. BTW, thanks Mike for helping us with another sucessful tranny build. The new ML converter rock's.........

Cool Videos:thumb: thanks for putting them in my thread. did you blow a turbo or what happen in that one vid??

 

[02freighttrain]

Yes, The turbo was getting a little out of tollerance and we spun it a little fast with the help of some spray. It did make a hell of noise when it let go, but no other damage. Hope you get your tran sorted out. Sorry about the off topic
