Don't know why you are making fun of the tractor vet!
He's right on the mark. I've had to horse my F-250's through plenty of tight spots with little to no clutch to use!!
I know EXACTLY what he means about dodging stop signs, signal lights, and other traffic while trying to limp one home...
I put a quarter million miles on a 1992 F250 and probably had 6 of those slave cylinders put in.
I was told "heat" gets them. I was told "sand" gets them. I was told I was the only one with the problem. I was told everyone has trouble with them and that most pickups these days are only made heavy enough to go pick up the mail...

Why in the world they could have just left a mechanical linkage for that, is beyond me!!
I can't speak to the newer models, but I know Ford REALLY had a weak spot there for several years!!
