Is the Ford Slave better than a parts house one?

[nitro71]

I think I need to yank this today unfourtunatley. I'm getting worse bucking action and what not. I'll be working this week so it's now or never. Need to know if the Ford one is just a rebadged Napa brand or if it's really better. Same for clutch and what not.

Also does the fly wheel need replacing if it's not cracked?

Not sure if there is much of a difference between Napa and Ford slaves. I've run Centerforce replacements clutches and LUK, both with good results.

You should have your flywheel resurfaced. If it's never been cut before you should be fine. If it has, you may need a new flywheel.

Thanks Rick, do you think a zoom clutch and dorman slave from Summit is better than a Luk OEM kit from ClutchCity?

Those are pretty much my options right now. The local stuff is no-name over priced stuff.

I don't have any experience with the Zoom or Dorman pieces

Here's my decision. Luk sounds like cheap Asian ****. Ford thinks there stuff is made of gold. So Summit wins.. as usual. I'm getting the Zoom Clutch and the Dorman Slave. I never have problems with Summit.

Luk sounds like cheap Asian ****.

Luk is what your truck came with stock.

I have a Luk and a Zoom hanging on the wall now. The Luk has 100K and has more life left in it than the Zoom with 60K.

Thank you KPT. That changes my viewpoint then. Perhaps I should get the Luk kit and call it good.
