as a rule of thumb, I never re-use a bearing. It always comes back to bite you in the ass.

Comes new in flywheel.

I've always gotten my slave at the dealer. I think it runs around $150-180ish.

South Bend Clutch is the best!!! Best customer service I've ever experienced.

I'll see if I can find the part # for the slave. Might as well put another one in while I'm back in there... Just got my Dual disc back today, can't wait to hold power again...

Ive never changed my slave or master cyl, Im on SBC dual disk #2 @ 50k, IMO you could put a new one in and have it go bad just the same as the one you have go bad, ill take my chances with the one in the truck that i know allready works!!

Have fun with the new clutch your gonna love it!!

 

[the4wheeler]

05-LLY I like your thinking!

I think that is part of the problem with my single feramic... Hanging slave... Just getting sick of pulling the trans out, so while I have the engine out doing gaskets and head studs, might as well throw some more $$$ at it and (maybe) avoid going back in for awhile...

Besides, my Dual disk is all fresh and new...

Ihear ya if your having trouble id change it no doubt!

One thing ive done since the truck was new is change the fluid in the master cyl resivior every engine oil change. DOse it help, i dont know? but when clear fluid turns black something is in it and i just change it for peice of mind, It dosent cahnge all the fluid in the whole system but it changes the majority of it!!

I've got 195K on the origonal slave in my 01. Still works fine. SBC #1 went in at 97K and SBC #2 went in at 192K. Slave in my 03 only has 89K so it should go another 100K.

i done the same thing the factory clutch loves to turn the fluid in to tar rather quickley
suck it up with a lint free rag and dump some fresh stuff in

got the clutch put in nothing like wrestling a 800lb gator balanced on top of a flore jack.

hats off to the guys at south bend for sending a COMPLETE kit!!! thankyou

ok how the hell do you bleede the air out of the slave? got most of it out just by pumping it about 300 times im sure thoes theirs a procedure?


and second
is it normal for the motor to have a noticeable shake at idle do to the shear mass of this setup? it should be balanced for a 06 lbz according to the writing on the flywheel and yes i lined up all the marks and oriented the plates corectley.

Not normal to vibrate. There were two different rotating assemblies used in '06. Mine uses the same as the '01-'05, LB7/LLY trucks. Late build '06 ZF's got LBZ rotating assembly. Check with Peter at South Bend. It all depends on your build date. Mine was built 11/05 or 12/05...

As rare as ZF trucks are, the '06's are truly the red-headed step children...

yours says LLY on the vin

 

[maxaholic]

Yeah his is just like mine. I have a clattery sound and bad vibrations but I just ignore it. The guy that built my clutch told me if I wanted to make it stop to get a Fluidampr or aftermarket balancer of some sort.
