VALAIR NV5600 Spring Hub Dual Disc Clutch 2000-2005 Dodge 5.9L Cummins
Description
This is the Cadillac of clutches for NV5600 equipped Dodges. Valair offers a full ceramic version for hot rodding and a full organic version for towing.
2 Available Surfacing Options
Organic/Organic (rated to 550 HP) Suitable for stock and mildly modified trucks pulling heavy weight. Great hot shot clutch. Smoothest engagement.
Ceramic/Ceramic (rated to 650 HP) Suitable for modified trucks needing the extra holding power of a dual disc and the quick shifting characteristics that a diaphragm clutch has to offer. If you are going to drag race with a manual truck, this would be a great choice.
2 Available Floater Plate Options
Standard Floater Plate This is the floater plate that has been used in all existing clutches. Some trucks have experienced "floater plate rattle" with this design, which is why Valair pioneered a new design (see below)
New Floater Plate with Spring Strap As stated above, many trucks have experienced floater plate rattle with the original floater plate design, which is similar in design to what nearly every clutch manufacturer in the industry uses. This wasn't good enough for Valair, so they took a principle that they've used on the big truck clutches (Class 6,7,8 trucks) and put into effect on the light
duty truck market with great success. A relatively simple design change has proven to eliminate or at least DRASTICALLY reduce this rattle noise.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Requires HD Hydraulic Kit:
NMU70HYD-03 for 2003-2005 3rd Gen Trucks
NMU70HYD-02 for 2000-2002 2nd gen Trucks
OPTION NOTES:
Ceramic plates are NOT recommended for towing and are rated for up to 650HP
Organic plates are recommended for towing and are rated for up to 550HP

About Valair Clutch
SHOP VALAIR CLUTCHES AND CLUTCH PARTS AT DPP!
When we at Diesel Power Products started shopping around for a diesel clutch manufacturer to showcase, we had a lot of choices. It soon became clear that one company offered the combination of quality, durability, customer service, price and integrity that we were looking for. Valair Clutch has not failed to live up to our expectations.
Valair started as Vallance Remanufacturing in Mineral Wells, Texas, about 60 miles West of Fort Worth, in the early 1990s. The company concentrated on rebuilding clutch assemblies for heavy trucks and agriculture. The location allowed Valair to keep cost low and supply the Dallas/Fort Worth area as well as the local areas with quality replacement parts.
In 2004, Valair addressed an interest in the performance clutch market for high horsepower diesel trucks. Research and development started to source the parts for these applications. Valair was already building clutches for most OTR trucks capable of holding up to 2250 ft. lbs torque and was adapting these principles from these OTR clutches into a smaller package for ¾ and 1 ton trucks.
After two years of R&D, Valair's ˜Performance Series Clutches were marketed to the diesel truck enthusiast who wanted a quality high performance clutch at a reasonable price. All of these clutches are assembled in Mineral Wells, Texas from the highest quality parts available and are now being sold all over the World.
Whether you are looking for a stock replacement, towing clutch, or a high performance clutch for sled pulling or drag racing, they have just the clutch for you.

Good clutch
"Great packaging. Clear instructions. Would buy again. Definitely has some chatter but overall great clutch"
Hope rhe chatter isn't bad. Well find out only accouple parts left before we build us an engine
"DDP customer service is amazing but overtime i order exactly what I'm ordering goes on sale. Haha. Still love you all. The potato guy."
Don't waste your time with
"Don't waste your time with the quiet version. . . The clutch works fine but sounds exactly the same as my buddies non quiet version bought two months before mine. Save your money."
Valair Dual Disk Quiet Clutch
"I had purchased this clutch 8 months ago. I’m happy with it but don’t forget to use loctite on floater plate straps or you’ll be pulling the trans again like I did. The clutch isn’t exactly quite an my opinion it’s a little much. All the extra weight really makes the trans gear rollover noise multiple. It’s held up great but so did my LUK clutch with stock flywheel that was worn down badly. I tow skids steers, mini excavators, camper etc and only thing I’ve noticed was it’s loud (not quiet), reverse gear hopp’s, and harder/slower shifts. Honestly don’t buy it get something simple and replace it every couple years. I don’t recommend"
Good clutch
"Clutch is good so far. Instructions for this kit are not best. Beware the hydraulic kit is not worth it. Should buy the south bend kit. Comes with more and the manufacturer might have better solutions for you."
Valair nv5600
"Amazing clutch, holding up well and easy to install, definitely would buy again"
Valair nv5600
"Amazing clutch holds great better than expected!!"
I was told on May
"I was told on May 25 there would a 2-3 week delay. Yesterday I was told a 2-3 week delay! This is totally unacceptable, since I needed the truck repaired 2-3 weeks ago!"
great product and service

Q&A
- I have a 550hp 2003 5.9 common rail that sits in a 2011 f450 service truck I use for work. The weight of the truck is 14k lbs as it sits curbside - the truck is significantly modified and although I do not do any towing with whatsoever, due to the weight I’m looking for the best clutch that’s suited to handle this truck easiest. I’m not concerned about engagement as I prefer longevity and reliability over comfortability
- That clutch would be a great option for what you are describing, in the organic option, that would give you a stock like pedal feel.
- Does this come with flywheel bolts?
- Yes, this kit includes the flywheel and pressure plate bolts.
