Default CTD Clutch M/S replacement



Today, twice, when I have the clutch petal to the floor and stop the truck,
there doesn't seem to be an issue till I take the foot off the brake to move
it over to the go pedal and I'm already moving. The clutch is not totally
disengaged. It also feels a bit like a leaky master or slave, not sure
which as neither is giving an outward clue.

I'm going to change out the clutch master/slave duo. The original lasted
145k miles on my '03 HO and wouldn't mind replacing it with stock, but the
one dealer I called said it would take up to 3 days for the part to come in.
This was after I told him I had to be on the road to Topeka Wednesday
afternoon.

So, I'll call other dealers looking for an in-stock part. I want the duo
cause it doesn't need to be bled and I don't have to guess what part was
bad, master or slave.

I see South Bend has an upgraded one, and I'll call them tomorrow, and
Valaire also has one.

Anybody here done this 30 min job and have a preference? I put on about
25-30k a year and pull the 25' 5th about 3k a year except when I pulled it
coast to coast to coast and when I drove it to Alaska. Both were 10k miles
of pulling.

Oh, and when in gear, and at WOT, there is absolutely NO noticible slippage
on the original clutch .
