    My hydraulic fluid is full, I have a solo clutch I’m guessing which is suppose to be auto adjusting and it’s not. So I’m guessing I have to replace it

    Do you think I can get another 2k miles out of it to get back home?? Lol I don’t use much of the clutch as I’m good with creeping.

    If you are easy on shifting and the only time you push in clutch is when you must stop, but you can slow down before lights and time them to where you do not have to stop at all? Then you can run it as long as you feel like it time to head home empty,

    You would need to have someone watch the release fork as you press the pedal to see if you have hydraulic pedal problem or an actual clutch problem before you decide to replace the clutch.

    I thought a solo, while self adjusting, could still be manually adjusted

    Solo clutches can be reset, but not adjusted.

    Hmmm yea I think my clutch isn’t adjusting properly. Truck has been sitting for 20 hours now and now my pedal is back to normal. I’m sure when I start the truck up though and it gets some heat going it’s gonna go back to doing the same thing though.

    As someone who has had similar problems with a solo, I'll tell you to get that thing replaced ASAP. Sooner or later, one of those broken springs is going to get lodged in a bad place and then you're (pick an verb).

    Had my freightliner done in Tulsa and it cost $4500 parts and labor. You DON'T want it to give up the ghost in the middle of BFE, that will add another $1k+++ to the bill.
