I hate my 92 F150

Nice language.
You were way off base, you generalized how his truck worked as if all ford
vehicles worked on the same principle. I write from knowledge. If I don't
know how a mustang clutch operates, I will give general advise and let those
who know give the exacting details. I originally stepped into the
conversation and corrected a few points of yours for the benefit of the OP
and you come back 7 minutes later telling me I don't know Sh*t on how a Ford
clutch operates.
I did the first clutch on my truck twice; after installing it there was a
noise- the aftermarket pressure-plate was hitting a internal rib.
The second time I did the clutch was during the engine rebuild- got it all
together and it didn't work- the original throw-out bearing didn't match the
replacement, engine in- transmission out. What a PITA
I get to repair cars for a living. I may not know everything, but I do know
something's and this I will share. What I don't know I will ask.

Before the internet became common place, this was a decent newsgroup of
people trying to help each other. I come back to this group every few
years to give it another chance. It failed again. It's obvious a bunch of
wrench turners think this is some sort of ****ing contest. All you get
from that is a yellow pool.

I never challenged your knowledge of Ford trucks. I didn't reply to you.
I replied to the guy who had no money with some ideas. You replied to me
in a rather rude manner. All you had to say was 'it has a hydraulic
clutch'. But no.... you couldn't just do that... So it was pretty
clear you were playing some sort of game, so I asked. Then you came back
assholishly clearly playing some sort of ****ing contest.

I was giving general information to look into, that's it.

I gave general information. You then had to step in and be a smart ass.
All you had to do was say: 'that truck has a hydraulic clutch' end of
story. But no..... you had to start things by being a smart ass.

I did no such thing. You lying piece of dung. If you think I did,
produce the post. You're going to have a hard time finding it. All I did
was come back asking you if you were playing some sort of game with your
comment and then made a guess what you might be refering to. Then you
come back acting like a total asshole with remedial lessons on clutch
operation complete with insulting condesending tone. This removed all
doubt that you were indeed looking to start something.

You saw my post with generic clutch operation where I forgot to cover the
type in the vehicle in question and jumped at the opertunity for a
****ing contest you could 'win'. Thanks for reminding me why I had
stopped reading and posting in this group.

Keep 'em coming, Brent. Nice language.

Include the word "you" in every sentence. The personal

serious contributors but a few gullible readers will always
respond to TROLL bait.

Best regards to all RATers.

Damn it, Rodan! He gave us another chance and we may have just ****ed
it away. Have you ever wrung your hands so much that they cramped up?
Hee hee!
Love the pseudo-signature, BTW!

Thanks for the kind words. Don't worry about BrentP, he seems to want
to complain from the safety of his computer instead of learn something
new. He doesn't realize what a vast difference there are between
mechanical systems used, sometimes even on the same make or model. His
offering generic advice is somewhere between dangerous and a nuissance
to the OP. You can ignore him or jump in and try and help. There's no
clearcut win in either event, but atleast the OP has a chance to see
what is right if he reads through the entire thread.

I damn well know there can be.

If someone is so stupid that when they open the hood they can't tell the
difference between a hydraulic, cable, and linkage systems then they
should seriously reconsider taking a wrench to their vehicle.

Like I stated, he could have just posted 'that model has a hydraulic
clutch'. But noooooo.....
