$50 - $95 at www.rockauto.com I can't remember which one I ordered from there but it ended up being a Bendix unit. You also might check NAPA, Carquest, Autozone, Advanced etc.

It doesn't have a bleeder. Dodge sells the clutch hydraulics as a kit and does not recommend replacing the slave separately. That said, they will self bleed with a lot of pumping. The air will eventually work its way up to the reservoir on the master.

Jack up the front of the truck and pump it about 200 times. Let it sit overnight.

NExt AM, turn the truck around and repeat. It should be drivable now.
Some OEM slaves have an Allen screw that you can use as a bleeder. Aftermarket ones dont have it.

I would buy the kit from Dodge. $$$$ I know BUT so much less hassle too! I bought both the slave and master from OReillys was somthing close to $200 with the slave being more expensive. Wierd, I know.

or you could buy the "upgraded" setup from south bend made for a second get and make it work... i don't believe they are much more expensive if at all over the factory/parts store prices.

I bolted a slave/master pedal assy from a 92 right into my '89 with no worries.

hey thanks guys ya i know you can bolt on the slaves from the other years the problem i have is that the replacment slave i got and put on my lines from the second gen truck was the fact that i can not bleed the system aside from pumping it for 2 days i am looking at after market slaves and parts now to see if i can build a better system like i did on my old 75 dodge that was a auto to standard conversion so i did not have any of the rods and such for it i made a hydo setup for it with willwood parts cost me 250.00 bucks and pushed even the heavest pulling clutch i put in that truck (big block)
