Hi, I'm a newbie and haven't had a GM diesel before, only Dodge diesels.
Bought a 1984 GMC K1500 4x4 with a manual on eBay. Yes, a real pig-in-a-poke but I like challenging projects (I think:rolleyes: ) Clutch went out on it and since I'm basically homeless until I close on my place, it had to go to the shop. Turns out the clutch kit is a new Valeo, and the flywheel is freshly resurfaced. Pending the machine shop checking the flywheel, I'm guessing wrong parts since apparently there's not good contact and no evidence of leakage, breakage, malalignment, etc. I'm ordering all new parts but haven't decided on a Zoom heavy duty kit or Centerforce Dual Friction from Summit, nor what brand of flywheel. Any experience with these? Anyone try something else better?
