what year and configuration? do you really mean it will "not engage" or it will not DIS-engage? can you push the pedal down? does the truck try to move when you crank it with the pedal down? are you sure you used all the correct parts for your application? examine your work carefully to see what you've installed incorrectly, maybe you put the throwout bearing in backwards - you need to elaborate on the problem

Might have the wrong throw out bearing, Diaphram type pressure plate takes the long one and the finger type takes the short one, mix them up and you will have a ton of free travel or no clutch.

I agree with Joker. Clutch was installed backwards. Take it apart and redo.
