So I got my truck at 160k, now she's at 235k. As far as I know, it's the factory clutch (PO sold it because he didn't want to throw $$ at ball joints
).
I suck out the clutch reservoir every spring and refill with fresh DOT4, no other maintenance.
I've smoked it 3-4 times when in a pinch (as in smell and visible smoke), and when I've needed to slip it (trailer, getting another car unstuck, etc.) I slip it.
Otherwise I take it really easy on takeoff, and rev match/shift without it.
So...as I was rocking the truck free this morning, I started to wonder-how much am I tempting fate? If it goes, I'll be riding my lawn mower to work.
