What kind of truck out of curiosity?
For what its worth, I've driven mostly manuals my whole life, I prefer them. And worked in a range of professional auto repair facilities namely on BMW's. I've changed a lot of them! Clutches seen to fall into 2 categories when the actual clutch fails. One is they just become so worn they can't hold the power and they slip, pretty simple. The other is somewhere close to or within that realm of wear, the friction lining becomes so thin/weak it shears away from the rivets and usually jams up in the pressure plate and then the dang thing won't disengage no matter what you do, pedal pressed hard to the floor! I've changed a bunch that did that! You probably already know this but always replace the pressure plate, pilot bearing, throw-out bearing, etc. Get an entire clutch kit. The LuK Repsets are excellent kits if available. I also recommend having your flywheel resurfaced if it has a lot of heat marks, grooves, crazing. Sometimes getting the last miles out of a clutch means the rivets end up eating away at you flywheel.
