Hey y’all. I’m trying to bleed the clutch in my 95 2500 with a 97 2500 engine and transmission. Both trucks had 454s and the NV4500. The 95 had an external slave cylinder, and the 97 had the internal hydraulic release bearing slave cylinder. The stock master cylinder is what I have in the truck, I just changed the line over to the 97 style. I can’t get it to pump up. The pedal has barely any pressure on it and it’s only right at the end. I can push it with one finger. I’ve done the hose into a bottle of fluid, and the two man method. I got a lot of air out of it and no longer get any bubbles in the bottle.
My question is, are the master cylinders different in terms of fluid volume? The 96+ style has a different mounting flange than the 95, so it would require some custom crap. I’d rather not do it if I don’t have to, but I’m worried that’s the issue.
Also, both trucks ran and drove great and had nearly all new, perfectly functional clutch systems before the swap. Thanks for your help
