Was driving stopped at a stop sign went to put it in gear and had no clutch. I took it to a mechanic and he replaced the slave cylinder, drive it around when I went to pick it up the next morning and again no pedal, so they rebleed had a pedal again then the same thing happened, so they replaced the master, now they can't get any pedal at all and said they don't know what's wrong.

The entire system has to be purchased and installed as a complete assembly with the fluid already in it and bled. The only way you can get an individual master cylinder or slave cylinder is to replace parts on an aftermarket system that has already been installed.

Let me say this a different way. You can not buy just the slave cylinder for your truck. The only way to get a Ford part is to buy the complete system already assembled and bled. If someone tried to install just a slave cylinder, that is a replacement part for an aftermarket system. If you try to install that aftermarket slave cylinder to a Ford pipe, it is going to leak. That is why there was no pedal the next morning, and that is why air got into the system that somehow had to be magically bled again. If air in the system was the reason for no pedal, how did it get there if there was no leak?
