Clutch
I have a 99 PSD and when the clutch pedal is depressed for a while or used repeatedly (like backing up to a trailer) the clutch disengages as if there is no clutch. If you release the pedal and wait a second or two and depress it again everything is fine. The more frequently the clutch is used the more problems, but give it a rest and it works perfectly. I have not noticed any slippage when pulling a load. The truck has 90K, I was told the slave cylinder is the problem. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

Spurrs, welcome to FTE. Yeah it sounds like a hydraulic problem to me too. You can purchase the complete hydraulic system for these trucks from Ford for around $100, they come prebled and ready to install. They don't even require any tools, the master cylinder is held onto a bracket off the firewall with push pins and the slave cylinder goes into a whole in the bellhousing twist about 45 degs. and it locks in place.
