you have an air lock let it sit for 24 hrs and then slowley pump up the pedal by hand. when you have a half pedal push all the way down and hold it and open the bleeder and let the trapped air out.
every once in a while these become a bear to bleed.
good luck

Ford hydraulic clutch systems are notoriously hard to bleed. The problem stems from the clutch master cylinder being mounted at an angle that traps air in it. I've replaced allot of these, and unfortunately the only way I have found to bleed them is to loosen the clutch master so you can angle it to where the fluid line is higher than the rest of it, and bleed it. Ideally, you would "bench" bleed it before you bolt it in, but if you completely remove it now, you will probably break the plastic clip that attaches the clutch rod to the pedal. It is designed as a one time use part. Good luck.

I just drove my uncle's 1994 Ford F-150 with 276,000 miles on it, and it runs extremely well for it's age! It has an automatic transmission and a V8 pushing it......it is also 2WD. He regularly gets around 19 mpg her and there, but on the highway, he says around 22 mpg is regular. There hasn't been any mechanical failures with the truck, and he's not the easiest on truck either. But all in all I would say it is a reliable truck, and with proper maintenence, who knows how long it may last. And really 150,000 miles isn't that many miles considering the age. Hope this was a little help!

Keep in mind when bleeding, after you open the bleed and let the air out, it must be closed again before releasing the pedal, or it will just suck air right back in.

You didn't mention slave cylinder. Are you sure you did not put your pressure plate in backwards? Keep bleeding, first.
