    6 months ago I had my clutch adjusted and parked my truck. I havent moved it at all and suddenly while moving it around the yard it felt really hard. There's good free play its just hard to push down. I had to float the gears just to drive 2 miles. Where do i start on troubleshooting?

    You had the clutch adjusted immediately before parking the truck for 6 months straight? How much time between the adjustment and when you parked it?

    Did you adjust it yourself or have a shop do it?

    Did it seem fine after leaving the shop and getting to your yard?

    If it was me, I'd take it back to the shop.

    Do you have an air-assist on the clutch? Maybe the cylinder has failed.

    Might be the cross shaft. Crawl under the truck look where the linkage goes to transmission,there will be a grease fitting on both sides near that shaft.
