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?

 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
