FAQ
Is the OEM dual-mass flywheel reused with this kit?No. The 1944-6OK includes a single-mass flywheel and is not compatible with the OEM dual-mass flywheel.
How much power will this clutch realistically hold?
South Bend rates this kit around ~400 HP / ~800 ft-lbs in a properly maintained truck. For higher power or harder use, consider the 1944-6OK-HD.
Will it drive smoothly for daily/towing?
Yes. The organic friction material and pressure plate tuning prioritize smooth, predictable take-off for street and towing.
Does it fit all 1999–2003 7.3L manuals?
It fits ZF6 6-speed 7.3L trucks from 1999–2003.5. ZF5 and other transmissions require different part numbers.
