    Just needing professional advice on how to adjust the clutch Pedal linkage as it has no play in it I rode with the driver and noticed he rides the clutch a lot and he also takes off in a higher gear than most drivers. the truck has only 62,000 miles on it so it is brand new. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    The clutch pressure plate needs adj. if driver is riding with boot on pedal it is a bad sign of not caring about truck.

    Adjust the clutch to 1/2" play on release forks, then adjust to 1 1/2" freeplay by adjusting the linkage rod. The ends are left and right hand threads to help.

    Most dealers should be able to do this in about an hour.
