Took some pics check them out tell me what you think I also got some pics of the pwr steering pump and vacuum pump one of them is leaking was thinking of replacing may be the pwr steering pump.

Guys I got it ,I took it of and repeated the steps and it worked like a charm . Thanks for all the help! Now I am starting with some thing else the truck does not have drip bottle for the crancase vent hose and the radiators look pretty dirty there's a lot of grease they look black and wanted to clean them up . Should I start another tread about this? just wanted to know what was the best way to take them off and should I take every thing out. I am also planning on doing the custom crancase vent like I did on my other dodge.

Ok I will take it out again and try it again, I think that was my error when I was bleeding it I left that loop were I had it set up .

Sorry I meant the clutch pedal is real loose and it is not working I have been trying to pump the clutch and I did get a few small bubbles out but I takes alot of pumping .So I got under and took the slave cylinder out and did a few strokes and I had someone look to see if bubbles were comeing out and I did had alot of bubbles come out so I continued doing it till the bubbles stop coming out and it hasn't changed very much just when I press it all the way in but very little but its still loose.

Its alive ,I got the truck to turn on but the clutch its very loose did I did something wrong? I did bleed it did all the steps mike said well I think I did any clues?

Ok so I am almost done with the clutch deal, I am bleeding the hydraulic clutch I got all the steps done I just got one question when I fill the reservoir do I take the little black plastic out and fill it or do I fill it with it in ?

Ok so I got the flywheel and clutch and clutch cover used the alignment tool and installed the bell housing with the fork on it and when ever I was installing the transmission I did make sure the lift the fork up and was careful that it didn't came off the little pivot with the clip , the only thing I didn't quite understand was this notes " Mopars NotesThis is where I screwed up. I didn't lift the throw out bearing and pinched it between the input shaft collar and the pressure plate, causing it to mis-align the throw out fork and depressing the pressure plate fingers after bolting the transmission up. This cause the slave cylinder to bind up and blow the clutch master cylinder" . How do I check that didnt happen to me. O and now after all that here comes the oops I was bolting the bell housing and wanted to torque the just didnt know the torque specs and did them at 70lbs and one of the bolts broke :banghead: ,its one that goes right on top of the starter should I try to extract it , does it affect it ? also should I loosen them up or just leave them ? . Also when ever I was sliding the transmission in I couldn't get it to slide all the way in so I lined up the bolts and when they were able to grab the thread I started tightening them and thats how I got it to slide all the way in but I also didn't force them in I tighten them evenly and never forced one in what do you guys think?

is there a specific torque for the bell housing ?

Ok finally I got all the parts I need to install the clutch back. But I am confused on one thing should I install the transmission back with the bell housing or should I take the bell housing off and install the fork and the throw out bearing and then install the transmission ?

Helps to keep the vp44 happy and prevents failure, saves you money by not replacing the stock pump every time it goes out.

Nop theres no oil

Got it out stuck a screw driver thru and got it to not move and please look at the pictures that I took .Do I need a rear seal? The guy that sold me this tuck told me that this was the original clutch the truck has 259000 miles.

Ok so finally I got the clutch off and now I am dealing with the flywheel I am going to replace it because its got some worn teeth but when I am trying to loosen the bolts the darn thing keeps moving what do I need to do to unbolt them ? :banghead:

This is exactly what happen to me. Now I don't feel like I messed up some were. Ok so I will change my clutch tomorrow and I am just going to slide it back like you said. Thanks and thank you guesswho512 !

Ok I finally took the transmission off today pretty hard when your by your self .I bought these tools and I think I made a mistake in buying them tell me what you think and maybe a better idea to help me out . So installed the platform and followed directions that came with it. Every thing was working good until I pulled it a back a little and then there's was when the transmission tilted back towards the back of the truck were I had the handle .So I had to help to tilt it back forward so that it was straight on the platform but the darn thing wont stay up straight so I used a bottle jack on the other end were the transfer case is and the 2X4 that I used to open up the chassis. And the other thing is that I couldn't get the transmission out because the adapter adds height and it doesn't fit thru the side .I am also using the jack stands on the front of the truck. What can I do should I just work on it down there or and get somebody to help me hold it when I am ready to put it back ? Thanks !

Whats the worst it can happen?

Ok I volunteer to do the test I will try it as soon as I am done putting it all together .

Could I use this oil for the transmission? Mobil 1 75W-90 synthetic gear oil.

Do I have to replace the reservoir ?

What's the best way to bleed it?

Ok took the drive shaft out and some other parts but cam across the Clutch Hydraulic and this is what it looks like tell me what you think. And was the way I was supposed to take the drive shaft out?

Question: Is it to hard to install a clutch guys I need to install a new clutch on this truck I just bought and a new flywheel since I can see from the bottom its got some teeth already damage and I think I am going to need a starter gear (were can i get the starter gear from?) . I have some experience fixing small stuff but I don't know if I can handle the clutch ,I have done the vp44 on my other truck and other small stuff like maintenance tranny and differential airdog install you know small stuff . I can follow instructions very well if somebody tells me how but maybe I need more than instructions ,Is not so much that I don't want to pay somebody to do it it's just that I want to learn how . Thanks !

Thank you all for all the info it has given me a lot of knowledge .I will look at the motor a little more in the mourning thanks!

I don't have an airdog on this one this is the new truck I just bought 2001 5 spd 4x4 with 259,000 miles .I am planning in putting a temporary fuel pressure tomorrow and was wanting to see if I could tap it on top of the fuel filter is that possible in this year? Is there any thing I can do to the pump before it dies 2 cycle oil anything ?

Ok guys here it is I got this code after I plug the OBD II scanner tool on this truck I just bought. The previous owner told me about this problem , when the truck is running at speeds of 60 o 70 the pedal wont respond and the speed goes down and I have to lower the speed by braking or putting it on neutral and then it will respond. What do you guys think?
