Looking for clutch hydraulics options. From some research, I found that I have roughly 3 options. My truck/project is a 24v Ppump mated to a nv5600 with an older southbend DD 3600.
1. Stock unit from rockauto.com, etc, etc - I dont like the plastic line, and non serviceable pre-bled unit. Id like to be able to bleed it, and swap fluids if need be. $150 is reasonable to me.
2. HD unit from SB or others - Again, non serviceable, but braided steel line, adjustable rod, and heat shielding is a plus. $330 is less reasonable. Im having a hard time convincing myself this is a good deal. This is not a knock on SB. They have been very helpful.
3. Make another combination work. There is some info on 4btswaps about the factory slave bore/stroke but the fitting on the factory slave needs adapting so a regular AN or pipe thread line can be fitted. I was thinking about using a generic Tilton master and an OEM slave (not necessarily Dodge) that can be easily fitted with a steel braided line and a bleeder valve.

Looking for some enlightenment/education/guidance on this one. Maybe the HD unit is good deal and I need to adjust my expectations?
