i have a 03 3500 with the 5 speed. drove fine all day yesterday, then last night got in and would not go in any gear while running and clutch pushed to the floor. turned the truck off and put in gear then cranked the truck, it jecked just a lil then sat still while clutch was in. went to go to firsgt and would not go. i can pump the clutch a few times and get it to go in gear sometimes. i have hbeard about the clutch/slave cylinder assemble but no one has it in stock. delerships are closed. did find one auto parts store has the clutch master in stock. it is full of fluid. by any chance does anybody think it my just the clutch master? really need the truck for monday. thanks for any help.

 

I have seen more slave cylinders go bad than masters. The best way to replace it is buy the whole assembly u will have a hell of a time trying to bleed the system replacing just one piece.

 

About how much are the whole assemblies? Anybody else besides the dealerships sell them?

 

03-06 Dodge Heavy Duty Replacement Clutch Hydraulic Assembly

 

just did this about 3 weeks ago. save yourself a headache and buy the whole assembly it comes prebled from carquest for about 160$. takes like 20 minutes to do

 

ok fella's, changed the master/slave cylicer with the whole assembly and no different. does that mean the clutch is bad? it wasn't slipping at all before i noticed the problem. and it happened all at once, drove it home from work and got in 2 hours later and it started this. it will crank and jump a little when i push the clutch in and put it in gear and crank it but then stays still. but will not go and any gears once running.
