I went and looked at a Superduty today with a 6 speed. It runs pretty good besides the fact that it needs glow plugs and won't start without being plugged in.

My question is the clutch pedal was really noisy and squeaked when pushing it in and out. What would be the causes and fixes of such a thing? Is it an easy fix? I am an auto guy so I know next to nothing about this issue.

Also, the Ebrake light stayed on until you grabbed the handle and lifted up on the pedal. Is that something that can be fixed easily as well?

 

not sure about "squeek" in the pedal, but, having to lift pedal up to turn ebrake light off, is an indication that the cable/s are stretched/going bad, or the front cable is not "clipped" into their perspective holes. One being at the base of the floorboard, under the pedal, and the other being in a hole, where the drivers side cab bushing is...

 

Cool Thanks for that.

The squeak in the clutch pedal sounds like the one in this video. If you have any thoughts, I'd appreciate that...

Could be the bushing on the rod that connects to the peddle under the dash.

 

It is probably just the spring... mine does the same thing i hasve learned to ignore it since lube hasnt fixed it. lol and im lazy.

Timmyboy has the right idea on the parking brake cable thing. Not a hard fix just have to figure out where the issue actually is and replace whatever needs replacing.

 

Hey Nolan I forgot about the spring, I took mine out because I have a SB Clutch.

 

Awesome, Thanks for the information guys. Sounds like it isn't a large issue that needs attention right away.

The guy is asking 7700 for this truck. Its a 2000 crew cab long bed 6 speed. 144k miles. The only thing I am having a hard time with is this...


Other than that, the mileage is great and the rest of the truck looks good. Has a couple other little things that need fixed but nothing else major...

 

I had squeak on mine shortly after buying out. Sprayed some lube on the master cylinder rod and pushed the pedal in repeatedly...sprayed and pushed repeatedly. Sound has been gone for two years now

 

Sorry for the messed up words...I'm on my phone

 

What did he do? Fishtail it into a tree?

Also check the firewall while someone else pushes in the clutch to make sure it's not flexing when the pedal is pushed. (you can watch for this by popping the hood and looking at the firewall there)

 

He said he introduced the truck to a light pole...

And that is good advice, I will certainly do that If I decide to go back.

 

you do the oil fill cap, on the fill tube yet, to test blowby?

 

I did not. I totally forgot when I was there looking at it this morning... I know I know, Rookie move. I didn't have a whole lot of time and I wanted to make sure it ran and drove..

 

it happens. I get calls from seadoo potential customers explaining there problems and they say, well it sounded good on the trailer....i tell them, EVERYTHING sounds good, outta water.

 

If I decide this is what I want to pursue, I will go back and do the things I forgot to do.
