Thanks Gary. I have no pressure on the drivers side, confirmed. The whole system WAS operating until recently. I haven’t disconnected the line entering the pressure relief valve and tried to put my thumb over it, but when I push on the test port and hear the Pfft, pfft it is actually pushing air...
An update on this.
I have a clutch again! After changing both the master cylinder and the slave cylinder and getting the system bled, the clutch is working again, so that is good. To gain access to the slave cylinder (I don’t have cab-tilt capability) I removed the center floor plate and it...
Corrct and I agree. I will be flushing the entire system. Wish I had time to find surplus dot 5. I paid $120 for a gallon of dot 5!

Thanks. I do have a fairly easy way I could charge the air system from outside, so I will do that. And I orddered some snoop. Question though. The Snoop isnt a spray bottle. Do I apply it to the outside of the air system or put it inside the lines? I could do either way.
Thanks speedwobble. I have no (or very little) movement at the slave cylinder.
as far as the air, the fact that it doesn’t have enough to blow my finger off is what is concerning me...
Hey all,
So I am having two major issues with my FLU currently.
First off, I have no clutch disengagement. The clutch works (engages the engine), so I have PTO and the motor does drive the tranny, etc. I just can’t push in the clutch and stop the vehicle. I have to kill the motor. This...
