As the title says, I would like to revert to a DMF from SMF.
I have a used 2015 RAM 2500 that was deleted when I bought it.
The previous owner had some scorching tunes, and there was no way a factory clutch could hold it, so he installed a Southbend dual disc.
I have since changed that 5-position knob to an MM3 running a 30HP from DRD.
I no longer need such a clutch and would like to get some comfort back.
Going the "wrong way," it seems as if there is very minimal information I can find.
So far, I will need to return to stock hydraulics and round up a pretty good list of parts.
I'm looking at a NAPA 1105182 as it has the DMF, clutch disc, pressure plate, new release, and pilot bearing.
I have a source for the adapter plate, spacer ring, and bolts that secure the adapter plate and spacer ring to the crank as well as the bolts that secure the flywheel to the adapter ring.
This brings me to my question: Is there anything I am missing?
More importantly, does anyone know if a stock clutch, specifically that NAPA one (though my work, I get reasonable prices), will hold the extra 30HP?
If not, are there any recommendations for a clutch that will hold the extra 30HP and still utilize a factory-style dual-mass flywheel?
Yes, I know it seems crazy to go backward.
Yes, I know a DMF can be fragile.
Yes, I know I have lost my mind, and my wife reminds me of this regularly.
I need to convince myself (and my wife) that I won't immediately smoke a new clutch before I can release the funds to do this project.
If anyone has any experience with a factory or factory-style DMF clutch that successfully holds at least a 30HP tune, I would greatly appreciate your help.
