Have fun, I know you will!!

My Sweptside has hydraulic clutch also and is very hard to shift, not sure what’s going on
May be a hose collapsing inside like brake hoses do.
Hard to shift as syncros not meshing or shifter stiff?
Hard clutch pedal, and 1/2 travel i would say its the slave binding up. All depends on the type of slave too. Internal or external?

Could be possible,never saw a clutch hose fail. Would almost make sense though.

Both, and wants to creep in gear when clutch is pushed in
May be just adjustment. Sounds like it's not releasing fully.
Not one by name. However, I am driving up there tonight actually so I’ll do a recon, and get back to you. Biggest thing is staying outside of 465 loop. Inside, and welol, I wouldnt
Good job!So... lesson learned.
Wife’s Durango. Battery light comes on, I just replaced the alternator a month ago. She takes it by autozone, they test it, says battery is weak and won’t charge. So she tells me, I stop on the way home an get a new battery from a different auto parts store where I have a farm account(saves me 10-25 percent on batteries). I get home, pop the hood, first thing I notice is the alternator wire had worked itself loose and was arcing. Tightened it back down, turn Durango on, no more battery light...
So two lessons learned, double check the torque on **** and don’t trust autozone when they test a battery...
While I could return said battery, I needed one for the Polara so i guess the Polara gets a new jolt.
Now you can maybe help out the new kid who asked for help,
I got no patience for that game.
Got a regular one and swap it later?We got the crank bearings and crank in yesterday, but are one bolt short (the taller one for the windage tray)....

Maybe not bestest practice but I swapped in all 4 for a windage tray on my first 340.
