At 75000 miles the throwout mechanism failed. Could not disengage
clutch. Ford dealer replaced most clutch parts and provided no clue
about what caused the failure. Have you experienced this type of
failure?

there are two aproaches to take when giving a customer an "Estimate On
Repairs"..........................................

know that you know, that you know what the fix is......and tell him from
experience what the "add ons" maybe.......

I have a 99.5 F250 PSD with a 6-speed with 64,000 miles on it. My clutch
has actually stood up pretty well except for a slipping now and then. The
clutch on the PSD Superduty is not up to the task of handling the power
that the Powerstroke puts out. Go to http://www.TheDieselStop.com and you will be
able to read all you would ever want to know about Superduties in their
forums. Just do a search in the forums under "7.3L Power Stroke Engine and
Drivetrain" for "clutch" and you will have enough to read for days. I have
been going there since Nov. 1999.
