Clutch slips past 30psi on our isx now with the power turned up. Recommendations for a clutch?

Managed to lose a center cap on my passenger rear wheel. The thing that sucks is the brand of wheels is no longer in business. Am I S.O.L.?

Are they hiring mechanics?

not currently, no

Milford · Mar 22, 2014

Whatcha got under the hood and for a gear box? I am guessing a 500+ Cat not sure if the truck is lucky enough or not to have a Pre ACERT motor but by the looks of what you pull around I will say a 13 maybe an 18 speed. I can tell its a 05 or older by the mirrors though.

6point0damn2004 · Mar 23, 2014

yup, its a 2004. used to drive ISX's so not too familiar on CATs. not sure what the cut offs were for ACERT but its a 475horse C15, 13 speed eaton-fuller

Milford · Mar 23, 2014

Its an ACERT if its an 04. Should have a BSX with the compounds. It is rare but I have seen 1 here and 1 there that are 04s with a single turbo 6NZ in them. I use to drive a 06 475Cat/13 speed and it still pulled awesome!!

6point0damn2004 · Mar 23, 2014

yea it does pull awesome, theres times where I wish it had more ass but she drives great. yea, has the compounds. id love for them to get a little heavier spec'd truck but I don't pay the bills haha

6point0damn2004 · Mar 30, 2014

Had to go pick it up

Heres our shop full on a cold winter day. My dodge with the flatbed off for a lift pump repair...

Pretty nice rigs!!! I like your dads truck! That 6nz C-15 is getting harder and harder to find! Beast of a motor!

AlaskanTrucker379 · Apr 3, 2014

It sure is getting harder to find. Motors don't last very long in Alaska with extreme temps and loads we pull. This is second 6nz. The first one lost a wrist pin and then the rod went slapping around in the block with out a piston and put windows in the side and broke the oil cooler off. $40,000 later it got a new reman 6nz from Colorado.

Truck has 850,000 miles now.
