On my usual drive home from work, the clutch fell to the floor.
Continued the last 7miles avoiding heavy traffic and lights, driving crash-box… shutting off for stops, and restarting in 1st to go again.

This will be the second time replacing it in over 220k.

Thankfully it was just the slave cylinder… the clutch itself still has plenty of meat on it.
Saved me a heap of money and time.

Their installation video shows running the wires out to the engine bay and connecting at the headlights which is a PITA . I got very lazy and have the parts/service manuals so I jumped into the wire harness coming down the column from the multi-function switch. Of couse the mirror running lights are brighter than the amber 194 bulbs in the cab lights, so now I gotta replace those with some LEDs to balance it out.

I drove my 96 to work again today since my hybrid was totaled on I-85 a month and a half ago. I drive 60+ each way for work. Still looking for a 2019-2021 Ram 1500's just haven't found what I want yet...Specs are as follows for the new truck:
V8 non-VVT, 4x4, quad cab, white exterior, 8" screen, gas. and of course, all the new amenity's

Starting to search for parts for the rebuild of the 360. I wanna increase HP and retain all stock accessories. I have seen plenty of videos of people doing this but I would like to know what you guys think would be the correct intake and head setup. This will be a total rebuild, cast piston will get replaced with forged, will use original crank and rods most likely. new and bigger cam, like I said earlier aluminum heads and intake. If I can retain the original MPI system that would be great if someone makes a intake like that. If not I'll go the alternate route of the Edlebrock eliminator FI series TB.

Question becomes, what do you want to use your truck for? The stock intake is good up to about 4K RPM, after that, it runs out of breath. It is designed for low end torque, not big horsepower numbers....
