Slave Cylinder Help

Who/What is JMB? any links?
JMB Justin .. use to be a vendor on here ,, may still be .. I haven’t been on in a long time .. Justin is the guy that did the build on the fastest viper truck for 505fastestviper ( Dom ) JMB is one of the first to make and fabricate mods for the trucks ..
his link : https://jmbperformance.com/
 
Roe Racing has the upgrade kit for $600 US. Supposed to come with complete instructions for installation - anyone use this before? Experience? Good/bad?

If the truck is stock, then just get the same composite slave. Like 100 bucks or so. Since you are dropping the transmission, thats the best time to put a new clutch in and get the flywheel resurfaced. Stock luk clutch is fine.
 
Update: I'm picking the truck up this morning. I bought the Roe Racing Kit and had it installed. I can't do that type of work anymore - the old elbows are too screwed up to do much wrenching anymore.
Any suggestions and/or pictures of where to mount the fluid reservoir? Right now its mounted with tie wraps and once I get it home i want to build a bracket to securely mount it off the firewall. It's secure but I don't like it and my mechanic is not a fabricator so I need to build a bracket.
 
After reading all this and so many posts like it, I am so glad I sold mine. I really enjoyed the truck. However, the looming costs and headaches of part replacements was something I was not interested in. Especially when it comes to parts that are no longer available. What a shame.

Good luck with your bracket.

Mine bolts to the firewall just behind the brake booster. '05 reg cab w/6spd. Yours should be the same.
 
I'm doing the exact same thing right now too. this is my second time. I got the transmission out and back in in about 7 hours. advanced has the u joint strap kit for like 8 bucks every one else is asking at least 25 bucks. take apart in this order
drain tranny fluid,
drive shaft, go in side the truck remove the shift knob it screws on, then remove the cup holders 3 8mm bolts that should all slide up and over the shifter, then a dust cover with i think 8 8mm bolts, you can then see where the shifter connects to the tranny with 4 #6 allan key bolts remove those and then stuff a clean rag in the hole to keep debris out of it, wrap up that shifter end with a clean rag as well, disconnect the quick connect from the slave, un plug the 2 transmission sensors, you dont have to do this part but i did for extra room but disconnect all the o2 sensors. then remove the tranny from the mount by removing the 15mm bolts the 18 8mm on top of those are welded on so don't worry about those, then your bell housing bolts there are 10, support tranny with the tranny jack remove the tranny mount brace 18mm nut and bolt, remove tranny, then 1/2 inch bolts hold the slave in place use an open end wrench it's a weird angle to access them then put it all back together
Thank you so much for this great post.
My friend paid $2k to have his slave cylinder changed out at the dealer...and created other problems.
I'm ordering the upgrade and taking the tyranny out tomorrow. 55k miles on my '05. Probably save $1,500 and get to know her better from underneath.
