Hi Kevin, Fords test for a bad/good clutch is to cholk the wheels, put in 4th gear (Fords 4th gear, 5th gear to the real world), let clutch out at idle: If the the engine dies the clutch is good. If the engine stays running the clutch is bad. Ford has a known problem with early 2001 and before clutch disc (bad springs) and the pilot bushing. 99 had the bad clutch fork. Late 2001 and on Ford chaged the clutch disc and so far I haven"t read of any early failures. Mine only has 16k miles so it"s too early. I would do some research as the last time I checked (last year) SouthBend Clutch was a higher rated clutch than the LUK. The SouthBend was rated close too 1000ft/lbs of torque in normal use. It was built on the paddle design like the clutch used in the semi"s. Serval options available. I stumbled onto another website (sorry no bookmark) that RockFord ? Rockwell? that claimed a very high torque rating, exceed the SouthBend torque rating. Website had to do with the Eaton gear box add on units, and listed one for the Ford 7.3 PSD. T_Bone
