Is there a way to adjust this "arm" so its farther away from the firewall?
I have tried to put a piece of rubber, tried different thicknesses, around the arm but that just causes the arm to stay engaged after I start the truck.
Thanks everyone. Brad.

Have you examined the cab mount sheet metal, frame cab bracket rivets, and cab mount bushings? It sounds like the cab has settled to me. Do you also have body/cab interference issues with your clutch and brake peddles?
