On my last wheeling trip my clutch was acting up, and my truck barely made it home. Assuming it has to be something in the hydraulics I replaced the master cylinder and slave cylinder. After a hour of bleeding the issue remained, and while adjusting the master cylinder I noticed a nice crack on the pedal bracket! So I wasted a bunch of time replacing parts I did not need to..



I'm told this is actually fairly common on 3rd Gen Pickups..
