1989 chevy k2500 clutch recommendation

[1989k2500]

I have to change the clutch I think. I hear a squeaking noise when the truck clutch is pressed. which could be there throw out bearing or the pilot bearing. Shifts are sometimes hard. I hope I won't have to rebuild the SM465 quite yet.

Do a full clutch pack. The pilot bearing is a solid metal bushing its main job is keeping the main shaft inline. I would do a little research and find the largest clutch n pressure plate possible especially if you do any heavy towing.
I also think that changing the gear oil in the trans is a good idea I'd use a full synthetic oil too


Next question is
How much free play is in the pedal itself?
With the clutch pedal pushed all the way in does it have a vibrating feel?

I did the gear oil today and a new slave master and clutch slave cylinder.
I saw a HD kit made by sachs kd190902 HD, are they good?

Yes those are good but JMHO I think Hayes clutches are better. More holding power and a larger diameter disc.

Don't need the biggest clutch out there. I ran the lighter duty clutch in a truck I built. 454, 35s and 4.10s. Clutch never slipped. Buddy ran the same clutch in a CC dually with a 502 pulling a 35+foot trailer loaded with race car parts.

The Hays clutch for my truck is $330. Thats twice as much as I want to spend.

Is that just the pressure plate and clutch or the whole pack?

Clutch, disk, pilot bearing, throwout bearing , by the looks of it

you can run a 6.2 liter diesel throw out bearing instead of the bronze bushing that is stock. The 6.2 bearing is an actual bearing.

Has someone done a write up on the procedure of a clutch replacement on a 4x4 k2500?
