5.9 Cummins Heavy Duty Clutch Kit South Bend 13125-OK-HD
Take your 5.9L Cummins to the next level of reliability and performance with the South Bend 13125-OK-HD Heavy Duty Clutch Kit. Designed specifically for 1989–2004 Dodge Ram trucks, this Stage 2 single-disc clutch delivers the perfect balance of holding power, smooth drivability, and long-term durability for moderate power upgrades and heavy towing.
This heavy-duty version of South Bend’s proven 13-inch clutch uses an extra-thick, extra-wide 3-inch premium organic lining on a full-face sprung disc with a heavy-duty 6-spring hub. The result is excellent heat dissipation, reduced wear, and confident torque holding up to 425 horsepower and 900 ft-lbs of torque — ideal for trucks that tow up to 20,000 lbs or see regular loaded use.
The diaphragm-style pressure plate provides increased clamping force with a lighter, more predictable pedal feel than stock. South Bend includes a re-drilled and resurfaced flywheel, throwout bearing, pilot bushing, alignment tool, and all necessary hardware for a complete clutch upgrade.
Whether you’re daily driving, towing heavy equipment, or running moderate tuning, the 13125-OK-HD maintains excellent street manners while giving you the holding power your 5.9 Cummins needs.
