1999 ford f-350 super duty p/u clutch slave cylinder failed w/o warning. Truck wouldn't come out of forward gear. Clutch pedal ineffective - went to floor and stayed. Narrowly missed woman and two children crossing intersection. Truck brakes wouldn't stop or hold the truck. Forward motion continued until ignition was shut off. This is the second time this has happened. The first time truck almost went through shopping center windows. Ford charges over $500 to replace the part, which will again fail and probably cause death or serious injury.

Driving my 1999 f350 ford crew cab long box. Veh is a 7.3 diesel with a 6zf 6spd transmission. Traveling 75mph the vehicle develops a mild vibration. I push in the clutch to pull out of traffic, the rear drive line flange bolts sheer off at the transfer case, the drive line knocks a hole in the floor board of the vehicle caves in the catalytic converter tears out the carrier bearing and separates the two piece drive shaft. The rear section of the drive shaft hits the right rear wheel sending the rear of the truck airborne and breaking the drive line off at the rear axle. Further inspection I find the transfer case has been torn from the transmission extension housing destroying the transmission housing. This truck has 124000 miles on it has never had work on the drive train. And inspection of the drive train less than a year ago showed no signs of excess wear.

(1) driving my 1999 ford f-350 super duty diesel home from work. (2) I pushed in the clutch pedal to shift down, the clutch failed to release and the pedal stuck to the floor. I ended up in the middle of an intersection avoiding a collision. The truck is undriveable, blocking traffic, and required towing. (3) the clutch release for had cracked and bent also causing a failure of the clutch hydraulic circuit. Replacement of the release fork and hydraulic circuit restored the truck to operation condition. The part number of the new clutch release fork was different than that of the one removed, leading me to suspect a problem with the stock release fork. Original release fork part number f61a-7515-be. New installed release fork part number yc3z-7515-bb. I have retained the old release fork at my home address.

I have had many problems with a vehicle I purchased new in 1999. It has been in the dealer's service shop mulitple times and also for the same problems. Most recently is a problem I have had the dealer inspect and try to fix 4 times and it is still a problem. Apparently the 4x4 is not fully disengaging and causes many problems while in 2-wheel drive. I am taking it in again for the 5th time for this problem on monday and I am at a complete loss. I paid a lot of money for this truck and have had nothing but problems with it and they are ongoing. Please help!!!

Standard 6 speed transmission wouldn't go into reverse or first gear and wouldn't come out of gear. This was caused by a bad clutch installed at time of manufacturing.
