this all would work.
 
Thats just delaying my steelies guys.
 
Oh sorry. I thought you wanted 33 inch BFGs, which I have. What are Murrah wheels? I have not changed tire or wheel set up on my truck since bought from PO. I am in no rush.
 
I only sold Shush my old MTR's which he sold I think.
 
I did sell them Jeff, I wanted 33s trying to achieve the look, ironically, I am now closer to with a soft top...

steelies will come and ill get whatever 32 or 33 inch tire Chris tells me to.
 
Clutch just Shiite the bed.

Dot 3?
Put all rubber replacement lines or fool with hard line?
Best source for slave cylinder? Autozone units hold up?
It can be gravity bleed right? I hate bleeding breaks......mostly cause I have no friends to make it an easy job.


(No I won't just take it to Wilder until I try)
 
I installed master and slave clutch cylinder and used stainless braided lines from SOR.

Was a piece of cake to install and bleed. If I can do it anybody can do it.

Brake master and booster were redone recently. I will probably investigate more to see what all actually needs replacing.

Clutch has been fine until a week ago, it would slip and grind until warm 10 minutes after cranking. I've got a lot of brake fluid on frame so leak should be obvious with more light. Tonight it was hard to get into first then wouldn't come out of second at all.

Andy is your install in your thread?
 
If it is there won't be any tech, just a mention. It was one of the easier things to swap out. And not real expensive if I remember correctly.

How long ago did you do the clutch master cyl? I would replace the master and slave at the same time. I'd bet it's one of those. Easy fix. To bleed it just install both and fill with fluid. Pump clutch with the bleeder on the slave cyl cracked open until fluid runs out. Close, refill brake fluid (dot 3) and rock out! Easy.
 
it was done prior to me buying it, but was listed as one of the maintenance items done recently. I assume they did one and not both. (Typically they fail pretty close to one another)

I guess ill inpsect after drill today and start looking for replacement parts.
 
Just did mine and got them thru Chris and NAPA on 49
 
Have napa units held up for y'all or should I go Oem?

Master is fine, slave is leaking like crazy when clutch is worked. Makes sense as the master was replaced recently according to PO
 
NAPA has been fine. I got Aisin units from them.
 
Anybody used the upgrade kit from JT Outfitters? about $140 with braided line and master + slave

After further inspection I think I will do it all at one time.
 
Shush....you tend to make things harder than they need to be. It is a more or less consumable part it wears out and easy to change and repalce. Go to napa get master and slave and if you need a new line get it and you will be good for next 10 years or at least 6 months until you sell it...
