Most stupid thing you heard...

I can imagine for those that actually clutch or double clutch etc. Or in heavy traffic. I'm the guy coasting in 1st or 2nd gear with 200ft in front of me,.. and everyone cutting over in front of me. Its traffic,.. where ya gonna go?

I personally only use the clutch to get me rolling. After that I float my gears up and down until I stop.

I'm closing in on 1.4 million mi in this truck. I got in it at 874k mi. I bought it right at 900k mi. According to maintenance records,.. the last clutch that was done in this truck was when it was owned by Powell Landscaping in Texas and that was done at 500k mi. My carrier bought the truck with 640k and never put a clutch in it. So I am guessing the clutch in here now is pushing almost 1 million miles.

Funny thing is I developed a small rear main seal leak in Oct of last year. I was considering having the clutch and rear main done then. But decided wait till the clutch started slipping which still to this day I expect to happen at any moment and it never comes. LOL

Yep, mine was in a 99 single screw, day cab KW.
But unlike another poster here, that hydraulic clutch was very stiff. VERY stiff. And I was using it in local P&D.
I'm convinced that was what aggregated my knee problem.

 

all our '15 Cascadias have hydraulic clutch... you barely gotta touch the thing to get it to engage its crazy

 

Lol, buy a small bottle of fluid because it's low and you're stuck with it for a while. It doesn't hold much.

 

What about power steering? I thought it used the same fluid.

 

Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!

 

They are controlled by the hydraulic fluid with airpressure doing the hard work.
Pedal action pushes down on cilinder.
Oil gets pushed to the other cilinder at gearbox.
That triggers the air to help push the clutch .

 

sounds like shingle place in Franklin, OH...

 

That's it.
I just grab the latitude and longitude for this intersection then go south. When you see the ~11 foot bridge turn right.
