Default Ram -> LS7 - Any thing extra i will need?

I am taking my Ram clutch out and replacing it with a LS7 / alum flywheel. Is there anything else i would need to pick up other than new fluids? I already have the newer style slave and adj master with around 10k on them both.

Hijack: What aluminum flywheel are you getting? I tried to look for a LS2 flywheel thats aluminum and couldn't find much.

I saw that, but I figured you HAD to have an LS2 flywheel. Score!

I checked the fidanza website and got their application chart. It lists that part number as both for our cars, and also for the LS2 cars, So it should fit both. Now get off my thread

When my RAM HD died, I did the same thing you're installing. While it was out, I had them install a remote slave bleeder, new TO bearing, brand new master & slave (old was a year old), master line mod, and also bought a SPEC slave shim for good measure.

The shims are my main concern. What shims do you normally need to use on the LS7 clutch?

Recent consensus is that the shim is not needed, and you just need to be patient for it to adjust during the break-in period. I was told that the shop used a slave shim from SPEC.
