Clutch slippage occasionally

it all started when pulling a 32 ft trailer.... suddenly it started to slip... let off on the fun pedal and it hooked up down shifted and all was good.... sometimes the clutch pedal will suck its self to the floor as well... or become so damn hard to depress almst have to use both feet........ new to this truck but WTF ??????????? i'm thinking its the throwoout bearing or the slave cyl.... but have no idea please help...

Sticking Down Clutch Pedal
My Clutch pedal sticks down sometimes, also.
At first I thought it was low low on fuild in the master clutch. After adding fuild to the master clutch, it started working O.K. until when I was towing My 5th Wheel with the outside temps@106 degrees and the water temps@230 degrees. At that point, the clutch pedal went to the floor and it was almost impossible to shift at all. Once I let the engine to cool, It worked just fine. As long as the engine temp is normal, It works and the clutch releases just fine. I'm guessing the problem may be with the Slave Clutch Cyclinder. Has anybody have any ideas?? How do you go about replacing the Slave Clutch Cyclinder, if I need to?
