Best heavy duty clutch to use

Post by Smkozma69 »

Hey guys while my motor is out I want to replace the clutch assembly with a reliable heavy duty one as I will be using my truck for towing and wood hauling (and some car shows in between). I figured this is the best place to find out! Thank you I’ve reposted to this topic for more information.

The stock style clutch should have plenty of clamping force for your needs. The more important thing is clutch quality. It is NOT worth saving a few bucks for a cheaper unit.

My J10 has a clutch from Napa, its been fine for the entire time I have had the truck (15 years). My Cherokee had one of the stock style centerforce clutches (it also had a 360/T18a). And it was fine too.
