![]() What happened to the truck forum??? I pop in every once in a while and it appears to have died out around here. There's nothing with my truck, It still runs, and the gas guage still doesn't work. I've run out of gas 4 times now. The last time I was about 5 minutes from work and about a 2 minute drive up-hill from work. One of these days, when I'm not working on the car, I'll fix it. Till then, I guess I better sharpen up on my math skills!!! In the famous last words of, well somebody, "Keep on truckin".

![]() I've been having a nightmare with my clutch, and didn't even think about posting in here! My bad! Probably could have saved myself a lot of headaches!
Take care, ~Chris

![]() I wish there were alot more posts in here about trucks.
I have a classic Bronco and need some parts, mainly a tailgate. I visit a Bronco site but it just not the same as this website. Would be cool to hook up with some other Off Roaders nearby.

As far as my clutch goes, I replaced it a week or two ago (new disk/plate/pilot & throw-out bearings, & had the flywheel surfaced). The trouble started when I tried to bleed the hydraulic linkage. I've done dozens of clutch jobs before, and at least 70% were with hydraulic linkage, and they were a breeze. I never have, however, done a clutch with Ford's internal slave cylinder (some late model F-series and Ranger trucks). They simply do not want to be bled. I tried everything, and finally got it with some help from SRV1. I had to make my own reverse pressure bleeder, and bleed the hydraulics from the tranny back up to the master. Anyway, a gallon of brake fluid later, it's great, with one exception: After driving it 3 times, all three times it started to smell like clutch after 10-15 minutes. Being a hydraulic system, there are no adjustments, so either the clutch is "breaking-in", or the slave isn't retracting all the way. Further inspection is necessary, but I'm not even in the mood right now. I have NEVER had a clutch that was anywhere near this much of a pain. The worst part is, it's my own vehicle, which means I'm not getting paid a damn thing. Sorry you asked yet? ![]() Take care, ~Chris
