How much to have a clutch put in a 2007 Ram 2500 cummins?

I have a 2007 ram 2500 with a 6 speed and a 5.9L cummins. The clutch started to slip today and I was wondering what it cost for a clutch kit and about what it should cost to have a kit or maybe just a clutch plate put in it. ThanksHow much to have a clutch put in a 2007 Ram 2500 cummins?You should replace the entire clutch. Check out South Bend Clutch. They make absolutely remarkable clutches for a good price. Are you leaving your truck with stock power output? Or are you modifying for more power? They have 3 levels of single disk clutches. The Con-O is the entry level, the mid level is the Con-OFE and the best single disk they offer is the Con-FE. I had an FE, and it is a very grabby clutch. You can tell a noticeable difference in engagement with it vs a stock clutch. However, that clutch held to 526 rear wheel horsepower, rated to 550. I don't remember if the ratings are flywheel or rear wheel, but I have heard people running more than 600 rear wheel horsepower with the FE.



As for cost, you should be able to find an FE for about 800-900 dollars. I paid 200 to have mine installed by a friend who normally charges 300 dollars. Pricing for the lower level clutches should be on South Bend's site, but that is probably the MSRP or MAP pricing, which is minimum advertised price. You can likely find a better deal by buying through a vendor if you become a member of a truck/diesel forum. I'll list some below.
