Big Thanks to Muddy and Harold

[Blue2002]

My stock finally clutch started slipping nine months after adding RV 275 injectors to the Edge EZ box.
Thanks to Muddy for running down the parts, SouthBend OFE Clutch and F1 Mach 1.6s. Thanks to Harold and Muddy for putting the clutch and injectors in on short notice.
:draw Inital reaction is the Mach 1.6s spools faster and giddyups faster. Smoke is less than the RV 275s. Clutch feels very close to stock, but engagement point is a little bit closer to the floor.
:Sly Still taking it somewhat easy and breaking in the clutch. Can't wait to give a thorough test. Will try to report back on changes in mileage in a week or so
Thanks to Muddy and Harold

Keep my wife away from the truck

....but just use the clutch like yer wife would...

PLease Kevin NOoooooooooooooo, Not again. She slipped it first.
Last Summer, we decided to go fishing. We launched at Farewell Bend Park in Oregon. I decided to play it safe since her trailering skills were not that good. "Okay, dear you back the boat off the trailer and get the boat turned around. I'll park the truck." Well, as I'm pulling the trailer to the parking lot, I'm watching her back the boat up in my rear view mirror, bouncing like a ping pong ball between the two docks. It would have been friggin hilarious if it wasn't my boat. Well anyways, I parked the Dodge and went to inspect the damage. Not too bad she only pretzeled the prop.
NEXT week, I get smarter and decide I'll back the boat off the trailer and have her park the trailer. As I get the boat turned around, I hear her slippiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing the clutch all the way up the ramp!! A few weeks later, I felt the clutch slip for the first time as I'm pulling the boat elsewhere. managed to baby it for almost a year before it started slipping again. (Been married 30 years and I'm still in training.) . I appreciate the advice and know you meant well Kevin.

I have an OFE in my truck as well, love it, the only problem I have is it will chatter a bit when backing the house into a spot. I really need a 2wd low kit, the Rickson's and 3.54's make for a high gear ratio and I think that is part of the problem.
