I have a 1987 GMC V1500 350. 4speed Muncie SM465 transmission, it has a
11 inch hydraulic clutch, the flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, throw-out
bearing, were new in 2011 the truck did not move with it`s engine until last
Monday May 9th I put on a new clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder and line.

then one slave cylinder for this truck? THANKS CHUCK41

Okay?
This makes no sense as a question.
Is there a question hidden in here?

What is exactly the issue. Does the clutch not press in enough to dis-engage?
-
Is one inch of travel on the slave cylinder rod enough to release the clutch? CHUCK41
-
Should be
Is it not releasing ?
These are very hard to bleed but if you're seeing one inch of movement that should work

ROUNDHOUSE THANK YOU
The clutch is not releasing, is there more then one slave cylinder for this truck? Last week I put
on a new clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder and line. The pressure plate, disc and throw-out
bearing were bought sometime between 2001 and 2011, when the engine was put back in the
truck. Last Monday was the first time it moved by it`s engine sjnce 2001. I don`t know if
any of the clutch parts are right. I`m thinking of pulling the engine and putting in a new clutch.
THANK KOU CHUCK41

Is the fork seated all the way, and did you make sure the throwout bearing was properly installed?

1967KaiserM715 THANK YOU
It`s put together right but I don`t know if the clutch parts are right, and I don`t know if I
have the right clutch fork, ball stud or throw-out bearing. It`s been apart so long I`m not sure any of the parts are right. I think the only thing I can do now is pull it down and put in what I know are the new right parts.
THANK YOU CHUCK41

I know when I threw my bellhousing on the fork felt weird (new fork and ball stud), turns out one of the spring clips that goes around the stud wasn't seated right, giving a lot of play in the fork, without putting pressure to the clutch

1967KaiserM715 THANK YOU
I`ll check that, it will be the next thing I do THANKS AGAIN CHUCK41

Sounds like you have air in the system.
-
The only way we could get all the air out was to disconnect the Hose from the reservoir to the master and use a hand held vacuum pump to pull the air out backwards
Bleeding it like the brakes just didn't work

I may be able to get a vacuum pump, what did you hook the pump to?
The clutch fork must have a weak or broken retainer and or a bad ball stud
the fork will not stay on, I`LL replace both THANK YOU CHUCK41

I said in a earlier post I was thinking about pulling the engine to see what throw out bearing
was in there, I didn`t remember if it was a 1.1/4 inch or a 1.7/8 inch bearing, it turned everything was
wrong, just another of a dozen or more things the previous owner brought that have cost
me many hours trying to make things right. I put in a 12 inch bent finger diaphragm clutch with
the 1.1/4 throw out bearing and it is working fine. I have the truck so it can be moved when
needed so the next thing is to find a good body man. THANKS CHUCK41
