Broken clutch cable

Clutch pedal went floppy yesterday, gotta assume I snapped the cable. Truck is a 2001 Ram 3500. It's on a hill in my yard with a horse trailer attached; anybody know if the cable something I should be able to replace myself, or if I need to get creative about moving the truck to a shop? Any suggestions on where to find online resources?

Sounds like you blew a seal in the master/slave cylinder or the factory reservoir let go.

Look for fluid around these areas. You will want to replace the whole thing as its a sealed unit. The dealer is probably your best bet, unfortunately.
