Ram questions
Well with almost 200,000 miles on my 2006 2500. I started thinking about a new truck. My current Dodge has the 6 speed manual and I thought I was done with manuals but I noticed that Ram still offers ...

Wow you guys are talking me into the manual. What is the clutch - I hope they improved on that POS duel fly wheel shite that was in my 06.
From what I understand, no. They are as failure prone as all the other makes that use (or used) them.
South Bend Clutch makes a great single to replace them though. (I use one)
If you are towing any weight, why go with a single disk clutch! :S
Because a single is more reliable and for this application, will hold just as well. It doesn't have anything to do with towing a lot of weight.
The SBC is just as smooth to use.
You do know the difference between a dual mass flywheel, and a dual disk clutch?
I agree the dual mass flywheel is junk, dual disk clutch is quite reliable and very simple, and twice the friction surface.
Uh yes, I have installed them.
Your one of those guys that just wants to argue and lacking complete knowledge of the subject, you get rude when pressed. You would be the only person in the diesel community that would chose a dual over a single setup for stock power (yes, it's mostly about NVH a little about power and has very little to do with towing heavy). That, along with your description of what RAM uses reinforces what I'm saying.
As a rule, I don't argue with someone who clearly knows just enough post junk. I will just tell folks to check out a site like The Turbo Diesel Registry to get accurate information.
