The land of commies and socialists!
I don't have any recommendations but am shocked that you have a Ram HD living at that power level. I thought that clutch was only good to 550 or so? I was actually looking at this clutch and was wondering how the pedal effort was?

Lastly if your throw out bearing started squealing I suspect your clutch was adjusted incorrectly. Some people tighten the cable to much and force the bearing onto the clutch fingers so it is spinning all the time and this is usually the cause of the failure. I know because it happened to me.

Hows the grab? Does it start soon after you let your foot out?

I ask because I had an exedy clutch that only grabbed at the top 1/4 of the pedal travel not matter how it was adjusted.

That's an adjustment issue that has to be done with the clutch itself

This is middle/low

Another vote for McLeod. I have the 1200 on a 800whp car and the clutch effort is light and the clutch holds up well.

I was told that’s what the car has in it is a ram he don’t know for sure but it doesn’t slip and has held up good so far but I drive the car mostly on 14lbs of boost daily and don’t really drive it hard and yes it has a adjustable clutch cable quadrant
