- I didn't see any videos on this topic associated with the 3500 HD's so I thought this might help someone with your project.
Torque for master cyl = 13 ft lbs
Torque for slave cyl = 13 ft lbs
Car craft part number: LUK CRS015 (same part number for the 454 or the diesel)
Thank you sir. I bought the same kit. It looks like the most difficult part is fishing the master cylinder and the line from the bottom. I had to replace my starter and unknowingly blew out my slave by not reinstalling it correctly. Live and learn I suppose...
I'm glad the video helped. Yes, trying to get everything in place is a challenge. So far (after doing this again) the system is holding up on my truck.
Hi Wyatt! That was a knuckle buster job and having to redo it probably would’ve made me want to run it off a cliff. My husband replaced one years ago and he didn’t cuss, but that job made him say a few things. Needless to say he got rid of it.
I hope everyone is as well as can be. Life seems to take us down paths I wouldn’t want to travel twice.
Hope you and your family have a blessed day my friend!
All I could do is smile when it failed (again). I had to remind myself that I was home with all the tools and practice I needed to do this job again. I wasn't very happy as you can imagine, but I need the truck so yep, back under the hood I go! Thank you again for always being here. Jason says "hello".
@@wyattoneable awww, tell Jason I said hello too.
Love the green on this old rig
I get a lot of comments when ever I stop for gas. Everyone loves the color.
@@wyattoneable I wouldn't doubt that a bit I love the color also 😂
Missed this one, copper thieves destroyed the phone lines in my area for 2 months and i had no phone or internet.
No worries, just glad you're here.
I had replaced one of those before and like you showed it is a bit of job on the swap. Thanks and have a great Labor Day
Yes sir, you have a great week end as well. I always appreciate seeing a comment from the great "Rusty Glove Box" channel.!
A successful repair.
It's so nice not to see all the rust I have to deal with here in Maine.
We are blessed not to deal with the rust you guys have. I appreciate the comment.
Glad it's all good . Don't think they will ever bring back a standard again , nobody could remember how they work 😂
Man these things are nothing but trouble. It's definitely the weak point of the truck but I do love the options it gives me when everything is working correctly. Hope your doing well Steve.
Good to see you again can't wait to see your next video!! Stay safe out there!!
I appreciate you Joey!
Good to see you back! 🙋♂️
I am slowing down a bit. :) It's always good to see a comment from you.
seems like with that job" if you could get some else to do it...." great job as always Wyatt! damn nothing like having to do a job twice. should go quicker since you know how to do it now!
Oh yeah, that phrase came to mind plenty of times during this job! I hope this last system remains working for the life of this truck. I wouldn't wish this work on anyone.
Every time I do any wrenching I always leave a bit of myself somewhere... As I have gotten older I my skin has become so thin that even a small glance against something will leave a small bruise.
I have been replacing (both sides) the wheel hub bearings and upper control arms on Gravy's 2001 Blazer... the heat has been crazy this summer and I just can't work for very long in it. I have everything done and just need to bleed the brakes and that is on today's agenda. Only taken me a month to get the job done. Then I have to track down a power steering leak on it... that Blazer hates me!!!!!!!!!!! It fights me every step of the way on anything I have to do on it. LOL
I agree Les. This kind of work (or any work for that matter) is getting more difficult to do. Everything hurts and I have less patience in my old years. Plus like you said, it's been miserable hot lately and I hate the humidity. So far the clutch system has been working fine. Lets just hope that continues or else this truck just might find itself with a "for sale" sign on the window!
hey wyatt sorry for the laggy comment.... looks like it was the master that by passed fluid. a pain of a job yes...one good thing though no bleeding chevy had that right, slave external so many now are internal
Thank goodness the slave cylinder is external. I've been driving the truck off and on for a couple of weeks now and it's holding up. I hope I don't have to do this job again. No matter when you get here, it's always a pleasure to see a comment from you!
Old school Manual Brake Master Cylinder
Actually, it's not manual. That's a hydrobooster that gets its power from the PS pump. That truck was originally a diesel, and diesels don't produce enough vacuum for a standard booster.
@@diymisfit_Mechanic_UDX404 my bad You are right not sure how I didn't see all the Lines going to it That definitely is a hydroboost unit
Oh man sucks when catastrophic failure happens and got to do the same job over again
Nice fix , this is a job I wouldn't have attempted to record lol
It was ugly. But I do love this truck!
I'm sure someone will be very grateful to have this info when they have the same problem and want to fix it themselves.
Someone sneaking up on you may have been that bear. lolololol
Thank you and you're right. That bear could be anywhere!
Awesome video man thank you
I appreciate the comment.
Good job
Thanks buddy.
Wow that was a fun job I was cussing just watching😅
Oh my gosh. I try not to us bad words but they were flying on this job. Then I had to do it all again. At that point I just laughed. I'm about over this heat!
Doing all that and then have the MC split is a tad worrying bro. Good to see you again though. Safe travels. Ken..
This clutch system has been the weak link on this truck ever since I've had it. It sure doesn't give me much confidence to drive it. I've gotten pretty good at driving without a clutch but what a pain. So far this system is holding up, but I've only driven it a few times since installing the parts. We'll see...
Most likely the replacement parts are not made in the USA bro
No doubt. The original master cyl is metal while the replacements are all plastic.
It's all fun and games until you gotta do it again.
Oh wait, it's never fun, or a game
I drove a 4 speed stake body for about a month like that because the clutch cable was a special order from international.
Luckily, 1st was a deep gear, starter took it like a champ😆
Good to hear from you again!
454 beast
Yes it is!
My Unimog lost its slave cylinder, and being an MB engine and trans, I was expecting a huge load of cash to be extracted from my wallet, the part was $45.00.
You just never know….
Wow, cost wise that wasn't bad at all.
@@wyattoneable Yup, I was amazed….
Nice work! My 93 6.5 has a leak on the hydraulic line at the clamp under the steering column on the firewall. Is it best to replace with the whole new filled assembly master/slave and hydraulic line in one unit? Truck has 300k on it so I assume this may be a good idea even though the slave looks perfect. It looks physically impossible to re-use the original routing if trying to thread through a complete assembly.
It is difficult to bleed the system to make it work correctly. I tried that once and never got the clutch to work right. In my case the slave cylinder does not have a bleed screw. The entire kit wasn't much more money than the line so on my second replacement I elected to buy the complete kit. The hardest part for me was to get to the bolt holding the line on at the back of the engine. I never re-installed that as it is just to hard to get to. There may be a difference on your truck because it has the 6.5 diesel. Good luck.
I have a 1995 with the nv4500. It won’t go into any gear at all. I changed both master and slave cylinder. I bleed it out and still not shifting at all. I’m guessing it’s gotta be a clutch or idk. I was driving one day around 35mph and then all of the sudden it wouldn’t go into any gear.
How did you bleed the line after installing?
That's the beauty of buying the kit. No bleeding required.
You didn't replace the clutch... as the title stares.
"As the title stares"?

Hi
Wyatt
What happened to Joe from Joes Auto Electric
Last I heard (over a year ago) he was sick. I have reached our to him personally but I didn't get any response. I can only hope he's okay and just not making videos anymore.
He's still active Facebook
@@diymisfit_Mechanic_UDX404 Thanks for the info.
Oh Man!
That kinda sux
It was a challenging job... twice! Thanks for stopping by.
