    Its not slipping. I replaced the clutch because I thought it was slipping and it was weak. But theres no noticeable change.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Did you resurface the flywheel?

    I just switched out mine and am having problems as well - it doesn't engage at all!

    This was a bit of a 'too many cooks in the kitchen' scenario, so I only know what parts I did.

    Any help is much appreciated!

    I would agree with needing to resurface the fly wheel. It always seems like you don't ned the extra time and cost of sending it to the machine shop, but the new clutch with chatter or slip in higher gear if its glazed.
    when you give it gas does it feel like its slipping? Does it chatter when you engage it?

    You didn't let the trans rest down onto the e-brake cables during the replace did you?. A quick eyeball is all that takes,,make sure it is released on both sides.

    Fuel line pinch somewhere? Has happened to me after I did a clutch. Wouldn't climb above 50. Banged the fuel line with the bell housing as it went in.

    If you have been sizzling/slipping that disk trying to get to speed,,,out it comes for a re-replace. Full meal deal, including the flywheel resurface and pilot bearing. It happens.
