Should I replace the clutch?
No, unless you were DIYing it. Why would you pay a few hundred in labor and put an old clutch back in? It may look good but if your pressure plate goes there goes another few hundred in labor.....all this is paying someone labor of course, if you DIY that's a simple matter of time, not money.
I doubt anyone is going to do an internal slave for 100 bucks, all the cost in a clutch job is taking the trans apart, not so much the parts.....what you did was smart preventative maintenance. I did reuse a clutch once when my wife wrecked her 01 and the 04 needed a new one, but the wrecked clutch had 20k on it.

i would have just had them replace the slave... if i were the op i would get my old clutch back to see how worn it is for myself. that is the best way to see if he got ripped
Got the truck back and $550 later, only difference is shifting is smoother and the clutch is stiffer. I didnt ask about the old clutch bc honestly i wouldnt know what to look for. He told me the original slave wasnt bad but the clutch was pretty bad...so i guess its a good Idea to get it replaced
Oh and i only have 1 year 12,000 mile warrenty..

you dont even need to touch the clutch to do the save so why pay all the extra labor to do it? that is what is bumping his labor charges so high. now they are doing the clutch they can charge a lot more because it will take them a few more "hours" to replace the clutch. even though it is a ten minute job when the trans is out

If any shop charges significantly less to replace an INTERNAL slave then I'd run FAR away from that shop! I really doubt the guy would cut him a break on labor if he did not have to take off the clutch.....
