Stupid Slave again! Probably

Stupid Slave again! Probably
So I get into my truck like five minutes ago to move it for the mailman and guess what? The clutch is acting up again! I turn the key to start and it sounds like the starter was struggling. Then the engine starts and the idle is really low and then the truck lurches forward even with the clutch still down. Of course the e brake was on but still not cool. I tried to take it out of gear with the clutch still down and nothing. It would not budge at all. I had to turn off the truck and let go of the clutch. Then I pushed it down once and everything was all good again. Truck started fine and went in and out of gear just fine. Well this is really pissing me off because the clutch, slave, master, pressure plate and flywheel were all replaced in February of last year. I have had to replace the clutch twice already on my truck and its doing it again. And people wonder why I hate my truck.
Any ideas of what the hell is going on? What else should I change that probably wont help?
P.S.- This all happened after the truck was sitting overnight.

is the master noisy? like...is it noisy making squeeking sounds from under the dash when pushing in and lift off??
we all know it's either slave or master....i changed the slave when the real problem was the master...

4 years....3 times i've dropped that trans. i'm on year 5 now....
1st time was slave. 2nd was bad trans and installed the spec and new slave too. 3rd was replacing a good slave(problem ended up being the master)
can't get a new hydraulic line w/o getting a new master cyl i do believe...
i too have that rattle....and it's getting worse. i'm presently figuring out if it's worth it to go through new parts and fixing this engine OR getting a low mile newer 'no timing chain issues since its been fixed' engine. im at 100k now, and dont wanna grinade my engine for my lacking of wanting to fix the ching a ling.

That sucks. I have owned my truck since 60k and it has 85k now and I have only had to replace the clutch because it was worn out. I also replaced the slave. I have had zero problems. My 92' F-150 on the other hand was a nightmare. I had that trans out I think 8 times in the 2 years I owned it for slave/master issues. I could pull the trans in 1.5 hrs and it was 4wd. I think you might just have some bad luck. I bought a Raybestos slave from Advance Auto. It has a lifetime warranty. I don't know if you have an Adavance Auto by you, but that is the one I would get. I have had zero problems even in -20 degree temperatures.
