clutch slave cylinder replacement
I don't know about the newer trucks but in the past there were 2 types: internal and external slave cylinders. My '85 has the external type and they are quite easy to change. Look under the drivers side, if you have the external type it will be easily visible attached to the bell housing. If its internal, you will have to drop the tranny(and bell housing?) to access it. I doubt though that it would require removal of the clutch assembly but I can't say for sure because I've not had experience with the internal type.

Gino93 , To change the slave valve on your truck you ll have to drop the transfer case , trans & everything associated to that to get to the slave valve . Its not really that hard . It helps if you have a trans jack for the transfer case & one for the transmission . Once youve gone that far its a good idea to replace the clutch & pressure plate & either resurface or replace the flywheel & pilot bearing .

More than likely you have the Internal type slave cylinder. You will have to unblot the tranny from the engine, wheter or not you drop it is up to you. I usually just remove the shifters from the tranny and transfer case, unbolt the tranny crossmember, remove the driveshafts, and slide the tranny backwards.
On the side of the tranny, drivers side near the front, you'll see a rubber plug, 1" by 3" or there abouts. Pull it out and you'll be able to look inside and inspect the slave cylinder, pressure plate, etc.
