1994
- April 2005 Dodge Ram Series Pickups
w/ Cummins 5.9L Turbo Diesel
- Clutch Kit Options -
|
| In
1994 Dodge discontinued the D-W Series pickups and
introduced the
Ram Series 5.9L (359") Cummins Turbo Diesel Pickup (Ram
2500, Ram
3500, and Ram 4500) to take their place. From 1994 to April
2005, the
OE clutch setup utilized a solid flywheel, which can be
replaced or resurfaced. From 1994 to 1998, the Ram Series came standard
with a
New Venture NV4500HD 5 Speed transmission which uses a 12¼'
clutch.
From 1999 to April 2005, Dodge introduced the New Venture
NV5600 6
speed transmission option. The 6 speed option was fitted
with a 13"
clutch which increased the torque from 450 lb-ft. (for the 5
speed
transmission) to 600 lb-ft. |
| Types of Friction Material Used |
|
Woven
Organic Disc Clutch Kits
Recommended
Use: As a Daily Driver plus Hauling/Towing on asphalt.
Not intended as for racing applications where a high heat high friction ceramic material is required.
Woven
organic is the friction material of choice when the goal is to maintain the
smooth engagement of the original clutch. Woven Organic Clutch Kits are
recommended if your truck is a daily driver and/or you are using your
truck to tow on paved surfaces. The increase in torque is accomplished by using
a higher clamp load pressure plate. The step up in clamp load
only can increase pedal pressure in a range of 10-25%. High clamp kits
are designated by a suffix number (.2 / .3 / .4 / .5) without a letter
included.
Ceramic Disc Clutch Kits
Recommended
Use: Farming, Forestry/Logging, Construction Sites, Full-Time Snow Plows,
and Light Racing.
Ceramic
buttons are a high heat high-torque friction material which
tends to, once broken
in, have a short slip period when engaged. Ceramic disc
clutch kits work well for
pickups that are intended for off-road use where the dirt
allows for tire
slippage minimizing the quick engagement nature of the disc.
When used
on asphalt, a Ceramic button disc will tend to chatter upon
engagement in first or
reverse when getting started from a dead stop, and is most
noticeable
when under load or towing. This is caused by the driver
feathering the clutch to try to control engagement. Due to the short
slip period of this material, this feathering creates a constantly
fluctuating engagement cycle with the flywheel and pressure plate. Our
Ceramic button discs are engineered to minimize chatter, and
are best used when the engagement is done normally. Several high clamp
load pressure plate options providing a
step up in torque are available for these model years. This
step up in
clamp load only applies a small 10-15% increase in peddle
pressure from
the previous stage. High clamp kits are designated by a
suffix number
(i.e. .4C, .5C) with the "C" indicating the disc is Ceramic.

weights creating centrifugal forces against the pressure plate which increases
torque as the clutch spins.
