Update: clutch is bled and pedal is nice and stiff. Last night I had my wife in the cab pumping away while I bled. We did that for 45 minutes and nothing so left it alone. A few years back I dropped a 5.0 v8 in my old ford ranger. Caught the same hell bleeding the clutch. Ended up being the way the master is mounted in the firewall, it was holding air in the master. From the factory the master is mounted at a steep angle. I had to pull the master, line and reservoir off the truck completely, hang the reservoir, tip the master with the rod facing down, and pump the plunger by hand until I could get all of the air bubbles out the top of the reservoir and the plunger got too hard to push by hand. Re-install everything on the truck, then crack the bleeder on the slave and gravity bleed about 2.5 reservoirs full of fluid through it, shut the bleeder, nice stiff pedal. This morning I did the same with this truck. 15 minutes later bam! Stiff pedal and no more air in the system. I never thought to do it that way with this truck because the master looked pretty level the way its mounted in the firewall. I didn't think the master would trap air but I was wrong. From now on this will be the way I bleed the system if I ever have to mess with the clutch. Thanks guys for all the help
