How long did your RAM last I am interested in the new RAM PG, but I do a search and I find all of these problems. I want to know how many miles you got out of your RAM clutch; mainly the PG system. Also if you had any problems.

The only problem I've had in my setup has been a weak factory & carquest throwout bearing. My flywheel and clutch (both HD RAM products) have been running great for about 10k miles or so. Clutch grabs hard, doesn't slip, doesn't miss a beat at all

10 miles, clutch was gone because I tried to cut corners by not installing a new adjustable master, and didnt upgrade the slave. Good thing I ordered from summit, back the clutch for a year.

About 800 miles with 520rwhp on juice. Approx 15 track passes on slicks. 
Had high rpm pedal pressure problem from the begining, pedal would get soft after a hard run through a couple gears. Finaly wouldn't disengage at all, replaced all hydrolics with an adjustable master proplem persisted.
Pulled clutch found disk wore down to nearly nothing. Replaced clutch with out doing any additional work to the hydrolics and it works perfect.
I believe that there was a p/p problem with my ram causing pedal feel and disengagement problems. Now in need of a tranny rebuild as well.

Has mine about six months and it had good pedal pressure. But one day going down the freeway the damper spring came off the clutch and took out my flywheel and pressure plate as well as 3rd gear . So if I could do it all over again I would not choose ram.

Ram HD with 3-4 thousand miles and about 30 track runs with no problems.I'm not dumping it either,I use a controlled slip and even hotlapping it has no ill effects.Used a new stock master/slave with no shim.Great clutch.

I have 5000miles on mine. A few track runs, but lots of highway runs,0-120mph. It still holds great. I get 3rd gear rubber shifting at 7000rpm so I think it holding great still. Its the Ram HD. I had a Centerforce DF B4 and blew it apart first time to the track.
