FWIW, when I had to change mine I went to the dealer.

Why? There is just to much junk out there nowadays. I got 100k out of my clutch and it would have gone a lot more (release bearing grenaded, literally). I'm not looking for cheaper or "better." That's another can of worms in itself.

What engine?

I've never had any problems with Duralast clutches from Autozone. I've bought a couple of them. I'm not saying that they are the best out there but that's just my 2 cents.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to paint it grey. It'll cost less, wont take as long to have it done and wont show scratches as bad as black will so I beleive it is my best option.

Remember that matte green finish one that was on here for awhile? Don't remember the guy's screenname right off, but it looked good, and was unique, I thought. I'll try to find one of the old posts with his sig photo, unless he's still here and chimes in. Last I recall he was trying to sell it...

Yeah, I know the truck. The guys screen name was Zanethan. It did look really good but that's just not the direction I was wanting to go with My truck.

A clutch is a clutch, go to auto parts store, buy clutch, install, be happy.
