No it's not for the dually. It's made by PFADT out of carbon fiber and has been cycled 300,000 times at 1350ft-lb's of torque without failure and tested up to 2300ft-lb's.

Its for a Corvette so the end usually has couplers. On the pfadt they get rid of them and use thin flex plate.

Guess I clicked on the wrong picture. They have the same exact thing on there twice. One says 500K the other says 300K.

Do a little research before asking questions about cost. Asking how much someone paid for a performance part is disrespectful. Respectfully you can ask where they got it from and if you are interested enough into getting one you can do the research and make a deal with the company yourself. It never fails someone is going to ask how much something costs. If you are serious and want to know it is always best to go threw a PM that way you dont look like a douch!! FYI
