FAQ
How much can this clutch tow?The SDD3250-G-ORG is commonly used on heavy tow rigs; South Bend and major dealers indicate towing capacity guidance around the “30K+ GCW” range when the overall setup is healthy. Always manage gearing and EGTs to protect the drivetrain.
How does it drive compared to ceramic or mixed-friction kits?
Full organic facings offer the smoothest engagement and easiest modulation—ideal for backing trailers and daily use. Mixed organic/ceramic kits (like SDD3250-G) bite harder and hold more, with a bit more aggressiveness.
Do I need to upgrade hydraulics?
Highly recommended on higher-clamp dual discs. The HYDX.750 assembly provides firmer, more consistent release—especially on older trucks.
Is this SFI certified or meant for competition?
No. It’s a street/tow system and is not SFI certified. For sanctioned competition, choose an SFI-rated package.
