Few things I noticed in this thread that should be blatantly obvious, but for some reason don't seem to be to some people.
1. The guy swapped clutches and the problem(s) dissapeared... So OBVIOUSLY what he was doing with the truck wasn't the problem. The particular clutch in question was. Everything about mode of operation, setup and all else need not apply as he plainly stated that immediately after switching to the haisley all was well, and has remained that way.
2. I don't think he is necessarily interested in the service offered by the guys at South Bend. Sounds like that was actually a non-issue to be honest. I'm sure they offered to help, and I'm sure as with anything, at some point you just can't actually fix the problem with what you've got, in which case the customer must look elsewhere. Which is exactly what he stated. Said his contact at South Bend TOLD him he didn't know what else to do. Period. End of story. Now I wouldn't have personally made this thread about it after that, or at least not in this fashion, but the fact remains, the guy had apparently exceeded the capabilities of South Bend and moved onward and upward elsewhere and his problems have been left behind.
3. For anyone making good power breaking parts there will be around 234,123,981 people making dick for power NOT breaking those same parts who are more than willing to tell us all about how they can routinely get ____ miles or ____ years out of the same parts without fail. Whopedy doo.
4. 99.999% of people have never TRIED multiple products in order to be ABLE to give worthwhile feedback on the comparative operation of any particular one. These people are often times blissfully ignorant of how bad their junk sucks. Yet these same people are the most adamant to tell us all about how awesome ____ is.
And as an aside, I have personally talked to the guys at South Bend both over the phone and in person and know first-hand that they will work to make a good product and stand behind one. And I don't think that dedication to service is at all in question here, nor the point of the thread. So if the regurgitation minions could cease and desist it would be beneficial.
Just observation.
