Clutch ?

Well just got my new truck last thursday and when I got it home I found that the slave cyclender was leaken so I ordered a new one from dodge put it on and than I put the smarty on it on 9 of course and went down the road an it sliped very bad I thought it would. So the next day I put it on 5 and it dosnt do it as bad but what I did find out that if I get on it hard and it slips and go to push in the clutch the peddle seems hard but if I put it in nutral and push it in a few times it seems to be fine is the hardness just because the clutch is sliping or what. I have a bully dog on it now and with it up all the way it wont slip at all.

The clutch is hard to push down, you mean? I'd say most likely it got hot from being slipped when you got on it, and then the disk stuck to the flywheel and pressure plate?

Sounds like it might be time to put a little ding on the plastic card, and get a southbend.

I agree, similar to what happened to mine when it slipped running Crazy Larry, time for an upgrade in the clutch department...
