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?

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

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.
