Many of the stronger aftermarket clutches (especially dual discs) with higher plate loads need upgraded hydraulics to work properly.

Does he have a South Bend or Valair?

Singles normally don't - but they can.

Is the topic your truck or step dad's?

If the clutch operation in question is from Valair, just give Dan a call - he's very helpful.

If you have weak Hydro's even adding just a Single Disc Clutch can make you have to replace them with a new set or upgraded set.

master/slave cylinders are referred to as hydraulics or hydros
