Ram Truck Pulling Clutches
RAM Clutches proudly offers a range of advanced ‘slipper style’ clutch systems engineered to meet the rigorous demands of competitive truck pulling. Built on our championship-proven drag racing expertise, RAM Clutches offers custom-tailored truck pull clutch packages in single, dual, or triple disc configurations. All units facilitate progressive clutch engagement during initial torque application, enabling controlled sled launch. As RPM increases, centrifugal force actuates full lock-up, ensuring consistent torque transfer throughout the run. All RAM pulling clutches are ‘pedal style’ clutches. This means that they require manual engagement via a clutch pedal.
Selecting the right clutch setup involves multiple variables. The RAM team is here to guide you every step of the way. Complete our convenient custom clutch specification form and let our experts recommend the optimal configuration for your application.
Red Hat Single and Dual Disc Clutch Systems
Single Disc
Built to perform, every RAM Red Hat single and dual disc pulling clutch is custom-built and meticulously assembled to match the demands of your specific truck and application. RAM Red Hat units are based on the eleven-inch Long Style cover configuration. They utilize a heavy gauge stamped steel cover with welded spring cups and a billet aluminum pressure ring to withstand the rigors of competitive pulling. Its superior thermal stability helps to maintain flatness through repeated heating and cooling cycles to ensure consistent clutch performance. Static pressure—commonly referred to as base pressure—is fully adjustable. As engine RPM increases, centrifugally assisted levers apply additional clamping force, progressively locking the clutch tighter to ensure consistent power delivery throughout the run. Single and dual disc systems are available with a billet steel or billet aluminum flywheel. All single disc units feature a 5135 sintered iron clutch disc and can be built to accommodate all standard spline options.

The same premium components and customizable options that define our RAM single disc Red Hat pulling clutches are also integral to our Red Hat dual disc systems—ensuring uniform quality and performance across the lineup. This fully adjustable dual disc clutch system provides refined slip control at launch, helping move the sled efficiently while minimizing wear and extending service intervals. Static pressure—commonly referred to as base pressure—is fully adjustable. As engine RPM increases, centrifugally assisted levers apply additional clamping force, progressively locking the clutch tighter to ensure consistent power delivery throughout the run. Dual disc systems are available with a billet steel or billet aluminum flywheel. Dual disc units feature either 5135 or 5191 sintered iron clutch discs and can be built to accommodate all standard spline options.
Red Hat RAM dual disc clutches are available in two configurations: a reduced overall height for standard-depth bellhousings using thinner clutch discs, or a standard height for deep bellhousing applications. Please SPECIFY which bellhousing is being used on our custom clutch specification form.
