That clutch will hold some power but will be no fun in traffic or in reverse.

Not serious right?
You better have some strong legs to street it.

Haha I've drove a few trucks with southbend dd 3250 and it felt like stock. But I just sent mine out to kennys yesterday and I'm going with the sintered iron disks

My nephew put a single disc sintered iron in his, every time he takes off it shudders, shakes, grabs and jerks, good way to twist a input shaft off, he did.
Why do you want a dual sintered iron clutch, are you making that much power, planing to race or pull, it would certainly be my last choice for a street clutch.

3250 and 4000 are two different animals. I wouldn't buy a sinter ironed clutch for street use. But that's just me. In the end it's your truck and can do with it as you please.
Destroked- that's the nature of a big single! Grabby shudders hard to drive with. My .02 is they're not worth the money you save and would just buy a dual disk.

I went with a organic-ceramic single for my Fummins tow rig, but not looking to go over 400 hp. I've hauled several loads with it on mainly local roads, mostly 25-28k lbs gcvw, hasn't slipped yet, won't be loading it heavy until crop season starts.
Takes off smooth, stock pedal feel, shifts easy, I do understand this isn't something for guy's with big power but for under 400 hp it does fine and is a third the price of a dual disc.

They're okay, but not the best. They squeal sometimes, shudder a bit. I've pulled heavy trailer quite a lot and can deal with it.

The bonus is that they're almost impossible to destroy. I blew the countershaft out of my transmission and all I had was 4th gear. I drove 30 miles home dealing with plenty of stops and starts slipping it like no other, grossing about 25k and the discs were fine. I touched everything up in the flywheel grinder and put it back in.

I have a fresh nv4500 with big input and I'm running a 475 single with gate and spray so I needed something that would hold a little over 750hp. I looked at street triple disks but there $$$$
