Anyone replaced a clutch mated to the 4.2?

Depends on the driver, and many other variables.
I've seen clutches last 50k to 300k on these trucks.
If you drive it like a granny, it might last well beyond 300k.
Also, if you regear the rear end, to say 4.10's... you don't need to rev the truck to get it rolling. So that extends clutch life a lot.

my slave leaked as soon as i rolled over to 168,000 miles. not 1/10th mile past, truck breaks down. so when they tore it down, the said the clutch was a good 4/5 into its life span, so i told them to go ahead and replace it. $1300. when i got her back, she was REALLY touchy on the clutch (i chirped the tires backing out of the lot and not even touching the gas. spun them when going into first, again not even touching the gas. it scared me for a second!) but a few days later it wore in.
