I think it's a 5.2 
To the OP: A Centerforce is always a good choice, especially the Dual-Friction flavor.

Also, it would help out other's who are trying to answer your question if you put your truck's description in your signature, so it will appear below each of your posts. Click on the UserCP link at the top left of the page, and on the sidebar on the left, select Edit Signature.

How do I know if I Have the 11" clutch or the 12" clutch besides taking it all apart.
Um, unless you know what's in it, you can't know what's in it...
If you know it's original, it is an 11 incher.
Either way, the factory flywheels will take up to a 12" clutch. Make sure you have the flywheel resurfaced before slapping another clutch in there.

my 97 5.2L 5spd pulls great i have 4.56 gears with 35 inch tires have pulled many cars. trailer brakes are a must for mine. and after 140,000 mile my stock clutch is starting to chatter alittle. be prepared to downshift on big inclines at highway speeds.

I don't know......
From what I can find, Torque Manage pulls ignition advance to limit power when starting from a stop, and shifting gears. (auto trans only, so far as I was able to find.) This is something the OBDI PCM's could do as well. I don't know if they actually DO.....
So far as I am concerned, and, reinforced by what I have read elsewhere.... torque management was indeed a "bandaid fix" by chrysler to compensate for crappy transmissions/torque converters. The 'front' part of the 46R? transmission is the 3spd 727 WarpFright trans. A fairly stout piece originally. The older trucks, even with big blocks, didn't have ANY flavor of TM....... and the trans held up just fine. Now, with the cheap torque converters, and weak O/D units... they needed to find a way to make them last past the warranty period. Torque Management was the answer.
