    would you say it feels jerky? Do you think it's at all harder or less pleasant to use this clutch in gridlock traffic vs. stock?

    The only time the clutch is "jerky" is from operator error. As long as I am smooth with my footwork everything else is smooth. I don't find it any harder to drive in traffic than stock. If traffic is really that gridlocked both setups can be a pain, in my opinion. I don't drive the truck any different with the new clutch other than breaking it in of course.

    Just wanted to give an update on the setup. I just went on a road trip for hunting and I did not expect MPG's to increase as much as they did. I was getting about 19 mpg on the highway. Now I am getting 21+ depending on how heavy my foot is driving over the passes. I was able to drive 207 miles on less than 1/2 tank, from Gunnison to Denver.

    Wow that's crazy, as soon as I get a new light weight flywheel I'll get mine installed. Would be very beneficial if I got the same results. This throw out bearing is driving me nuts and making me self concise about the truck lol

    Have you tried adjusting the clutch at all. Theres some posts on the forum about it. That might help for a little bit. Unless it is really that bad. Mine was bad, the disc was also gone at time of replacement.

    20k on this setup now and running strong. Very impressive offroad. I was out hunting last November and climbed a nasty icy/snowy hill with out chains. I struggled a little since I didn't lock the rear, but still made it. The truck started to bog in third and I knew if I grabbed the clutch to shift it would be over and I would have to back down. I just kept in the throttle, the clutch never slipped and sent the power to the ground. I was very impressed!!!
