Slave cylinder hell

[94f350]

I have 1995 f150 2wd 300 6 Did a clutch job about a year ago, slave cylinder started to lose prime 6 months later, replaced slave cylinder. New slave lasted about two weeks then pedal went to floor. Replaced slave and master with dorman parts, couldn't find master pushrod in box, ended up using old one. That lasted about a month and yesterday was driving truck, went to push clutch pedal to shift and pedal was stiff as a board, pushed through it and pedal went to floor. Have no clutch pedal now. Any ideas on what could have gone wrong this time? I figure using the old pushrod was my mistake. Is there a good aftermarket clutch slave and master that I can get that will 100% work better than what I have going on right now? Also would love to switch to a mechanical clutch but don't think that's an option.

Forgot to mention I have an internal slave inside transmission bell housing so I've pulled the transmission 3 times now, sucks but I'm getting pretty good at it, at least.

I don't have an answer for what could have happened to make the pedal stiff. I will throw out that I have had very bad luck with those internal slaves on the small block zf5 though. The O'Reilly one would last anywhere from 6 months to a year.

Like you I got pretty fast at changing it but being 4x4 it still got really old having to do it all the time.

Crawled under the truck this morning and the line was popped out of the slave cylinder fitting, I think that would probably cause my problem but not sure how that happened, hopefully I can get away with bleeding it, maybe I'll have to do the master but let's hope not.
