98 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD Hydraulic clutch Sign In

My clutch went out on my 98 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD the other day. I limped it home shifting like a big truck timing the shifts w/out the clutch. I replaced the slave cylinder w/ an aftermarket that had a bleeder. Bled it and got the pedal back up and it still wouldn't disengage the clutch. I replaced the master cylinder and started getting pedal back until I let the reservoir get too low and now after plenty of tries, I can't get any pressure built. I get a stream of fluid, but no air. Bench bleed the master and start over? I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you looked to see if the slave piston is actually travelling outward? If your throwout bearing has come apart it won't disengage the clutch and would not feel like there was pressure in the pedal.

If you did somehow suck some air into the master getting it low, you will need to start over with the bench bleed to get it out. Check the slave travel first.

After replacing the MC, I was hearing the SC piston moving when my friend was pumping the pedal. Both parts are new. After getting some pedal, I lost all that I had gained when the reservoir got too low... my mistake.
