Well I'm back. Been super busy with work so I haven't had a lot of time for the truck.
But I got the clutch issue fixed. Ended up being a failing master cylinder not allowing fluid to return, which was maintaining pressure on the slave and causing the clutch to slip. Of course I didn't find that out till I pulled the trans out. So I just changed the master, slave, throw out bearing and pilot bearing while I was in there. Clutch and flywheel looked perfect so I just reinstalled those.
Now the truck is up on jack stands. I decided to get new tires while the truck is down. It takes like 2 months to get these tires so might as well wait while the truck is broken anyways. Exact same tires just a fresh set. Hopefully I'll have them in June.
And the steering stuff has arrived! Nice big shipment from PSC. Pump, ram, reservoir, cooler and some other accessories. So next I'll be figuring out how to fit all that up.
