It's not nearly as difficult as it sounds. The PITA part is gettin' the tranny out. Gotta unhook everything, get it onto a jack of some sort and out from under the truck.
Once you do that, the rest is easy. Just a matter of replacing parts. Then reinstall the tranny and bleed the clutch (will require 3 people, PITA). And off you go.
And you can get clutch kits on eBay for MUCH less than Summit. That's what I'll be using before I leave for college.

How much are we looking at for the M5OD? I'm having the squeaking as I let out the clutch, no problems getting it into gear yet, but I'd replace the whole thing. I'll prolly do it in a month or so as my two brothers will be in Utah to help.
(I meant how much for clutch/throwout bearing/pressure plate/flywheel resurfacing)

As I said, you can find clutch kits out there for less than $200 bucks.

Flywheel resurfacing I imagine can't be much, though I'm not sure on that one, never had it done.
Crazy I'd be more than happy to but I wasn't planning on doing mine for a while. Yours need to be done now, as in ASAP?

What do you guys think about Boss clutches? That's the one in the link I showed...good/bad? I know stuff listed on eBay can go either way, and I'm wary of anything listed as "Premium series".

Well I was on my way home tonight from work and as I would slow down to a light my truck would drop rpm's like crazy. It would go under 500 rpm's. Seemed like 300 or less rpm's.
Now I dont know if this has any thing to do with the above problem, but I dont know if im freaking out or what but could this be caused by from what the mechanic was talking about it seems like the throwout bearing going out is causing the clutch plate to not fully engage. Now dont start flaming me for this because he said alot and I was confused half of the time and I might have mixed up some words.
But let me know what you think.

I'd believe so. Typically clutch dragging is either one of the cylinders going out or the throwout bearing.
I'd bet first on the slave going, as it's just not that reliable, but since you see no leak around the tranny, it's gonna be the bearing.
As your clutch drags at stoplights when you're on it, it's going to be burning off fast. The engine is turning at 500 RPMs, the tranny innards are turning at 0 RPMs, and your clutch is stuck burning off to make up the difference. Don't be surpised if when you get in there it's pretty worn out.
While you're in the tranny, you definetly should replace the clutch, throwout, pressure plate, have the flywheel resurfaced, and I would replace the slave. It's just to unreliable to leave the stock one in there then know I might be back in there in a month 'cause it crapped out.

Why resurface the flywheel? What does that do?
