I just put an nv3500 in my 88 k1500 4wd. I had no problem driving it until a friend, after i told him not to, got in and started messing around. He put it in gear, let out the clutch and the truck stayed running. Heard a loud pop, all the sudden the truck won't move. Funny how he magically "had to go home" after that

Any ideas what i should check?

Hydraulic line runs from the master cylinder by the starter to the fluid reservoir, correct?

The one underneath by the starter is the slave. They've been known to die, too.
Any fluid puddle under the truck?

I don't believe it would be master cylinder, I still have plenty of pressure in the clutch. I'm really no good with transmission stuff, i learned most of what i know as i went along with the transmission replacement.

And im still able to start the truck so, wouldn't that rule out slave cylinder?

What would cause a manual transmission to be able to shift without the clutch while the vehicle is running?

Honestly the best thing to do is pull the trans back out, check your clutch, flywheel, TO bearing. It sucks, but it's not like the truck drives, so downtime depends on how fast you find the problem. Sorry to hear about your luck.
