South Bend Clutch Stage 2 Daily Plus Clutch Kit with Flywheel, Dodge (2000.5-05.5) 5.9L 2500-3500 NV5600, 425hp & 900 ft lbs of torque

The South Bend 1947-OKHD Stage 2 Daily Plus clutch kit is tailored for 2000.5–2005.5 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 5.9L Cummins and NV5600 6-speed manual transmission. Rated for approximately 425 hp and 900 ft-lbs of torque, it is designed to bridge the gap between a stock replacement clutch and an aggressive competition setup, making it ideal for tuned daily-driven and tow rigs.

The kit uses a 13" full organic friction disc matched to a heavy-duty pressure plate that offers higher clamping force without requiring an excessively stiff pedal. This combination delivers smooth engagement, reduced chatter, and strong holding power, which is especially important for daily driven work trucks and heavy towing applications that still need to behave well in traffic and on the street.

A South Bend flywheel is included and specifically matched to the disc and pressure plate, ensuring proper release characteristics, correct step height, and balanced operation at highway RPM. Because the NV5600 is sensitive to clutch and flywheel geometry, using a matched kit like this helps avoid issues such as dragging, hard shifting, or premature wear that can occur when mixing random components.

This Stage 2 Daily Plus package is well suited for trucks running common upgrades such as performance tuning, larger injectors, and mild turbo improvements while still being asked to tow regularly. Owners looking for search terms like “NV5600 425 hp 900 tq clutch,” “South Bend 1947-OKHD organic kit with flywheel,” or “street/tow clutch for 2000.5–2005.5 Cummins” will find this kit aimed squarely at those real-world power and duty cycles.

For drivers who want to avoid the noise and on/off feel of puck or ceramic clutches but keep the truck reliable at higher torque levels, the Stage 2 Daily Plus kit offers a balanced solution. When installed with proper break-in and paired with healthy hydraulics, it can significantly extend clutch life and improve confidence under load compared to a worn or stock-level replacement clutch.
