Default Clutch Replacement Procedure

Hi, am gearing up to replace the clutch in my '99 V6 Ram. I did a search but didn't find a similar thread, so was hoping to see if anyone had any suggestions or tips and tricks. I have changed a number of clutches but mostly on older GM muscle cars so I have the basics down; was just looking for anything special to look out for on this truck.

I have a new disc, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and u-joints. Anything else I should replace while I am in there?

Thanks in advance!

I think doing the slave cylinder is probably not a bad idea.

Slave is external and the wholes system is meant to be replaced as a sealed unit. No reason to do it with a clutch job since the trans doesn't have to be dropped to do it.

Remove the crank sensor before bulling the trans, otherwise you risk damaging it.
