Well Praise BE !!!!!
The pilot bearing was stuck on the input shaft...loosened up the p/p bolts...jacked up the rear, started the truck and kept popping the clutch...after about 6 times it snapped free...tighened back the bolts, then I took it out for a ride and purposily made it slip to "clean" the pads a little. Runs fine...my buddies seemed to think that the humidity and the heat, and the fact that it had not been driven for a few weeks...
THANKS for all the HELP, and YES! I did get the 11" clutch kit at NAPA...$156...that's not bad at ALL.
Keep on DRIVING!!!!!!
Jim
