They have no bleeder nipple at the slave.

Here is the solution that Timmyboy76 came up with a couple years ago. I never got around to doing this even though I have the parts in a bag in the garage. That seems to be a theme around here for us on the FTE...

I am to the point with my e99 that it time for this mod. Not a hard heim joint to add but I do wonder if part of the problem is the shaft that the entire arm pivots on? I ask this because in the 92 obs I had, that was the case along with the shaft the clip locked down on. Now in the case of my e99, that shaft on the clutch pedal has some wear on one side, clips don't blow off and a new clip does wonders for about 4 pumps and then its back to the floor. Hard to see for sure but there is a fair amount of play and it doesn't look like its all from the head of that rod.

Okay. I will take your word for it since I have never worked on a SuperDuty's clutch. Every other clutch I have worked on had a bleeder at the slave.

this is not video of my pedal assembly but i believe the play i am seeing up at the pedal. not surprised at the wear with 142 k miles on the truck. forward to 8:00 and watch the left side of the pin the pedal pivots on. that slop add to the issue.
