Clutch replaced 18 months ago. Clutch works fine when warm outside. Thought there may be water in the system, drained, flushed and bled system to no avail. Any idea's? Heard this one before?

The clutch should work whether its cold or hot outside. What exactly is the problem here? Be specific so we can help you out-

I agree that temp shouldn't matter. When it's cold it acts like the clutch is gone. Can't put truck into gear while running, but only when it's freezing out. Works fine the rest of the year.

Sounds like you need a new clutch assembly-but check master cylinder and slave 1st before you act on a new clutch assy.

Maybe one of the cylinders. The clutch is only 18 months old, I pulled the dustcover yesterday and there is lots of clutch.
