Clutch problem well at first only in 6th gear it would feel like it was slipping just a tad when i put it to the floor. Then after a while it got worse to where it would slip in a high gears at low speeds. But would never slip under WOT in a low gear. Now I cant hardly floor it without it slipping. I dont think its the clutch itself going bad. Its only about 7 months old and it is a Ram Powergrip HD. But it does still have the stock flywheel. Me and a couple of buddy's think it is the clutch master cylinder goin bad. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be?
mine is doing the same thing as your's and i also bout the RAM HD, new slave and RAM Billet Steel Flywheel in July i have put about 8000 miles and can't explain why it's doing this i'm going to replace the stock master cylinder first it just doesn't feel like it used to when i first installed it even my wife said that the pedal was to stiff and she would get tired but know it feels very week.I hope it fixes the problem, if it does not i'm just going to have to save up and buy another cluth probably going with SPEC3+. good luck with yours.

When my RAM HD was failing thats exactly what it did untill it got unbearable and I replaced it. But the previous owner had installed the clutch and left out the shim that goes behind the slave. Plus I dont know if he resurfaced the flywheel because it was torn up. The disc also didnt appear to be the HD powergrip disc. It lasted almost 10k miles like that. I replaced it with a ram HD and resurafaced my flywheel as well as fresh slave and pilot bearing. Its got 3500ish miles on it and so far is doing well. Sounds like you guys need a new clutch, and the sloppy pedal may be cured with a bleed. Buy a mityvac and try a good bleeding.
