    Ok dudes, New guy again with another eye roller of a question... Upon purchase, my Taco was gone through by the Ram dealer I work for, they did the following:
    Plugs, wires, filters, complete drain&fills, brakes on all 4, and a fuel system flush.
    At that moment when I took ownership of the truck, the clutch was perfect, having been adjusted (or something) from how it was when I had test driven it the day it was traded in...(catch space near the end of pedal release, catch space short enough to shake the truck at almost every initiation of forward momentum) it doesmt shake now, much, i can mitigate it, but in doing so my brain tells me im putting too much friction on the clutch/pressure plate... The 2014's have the little adjustable deal that allows the clutch to be 'adjusted'... Now, is this an adjustment to -where the clutch engages in the 1-12 inches the pedal is becoming let out OR is this another adjuatment that I am not feeling/ seeing...? Thanks much to the knoledgeable Yota folks!l who took the time to respond and help out.

    Here is the adjustment procedure out of the service manual for the pedal adjustment:

    Ok pal 2 questions if you would...1.) I am aware that the lock nut, below the mechanism, lowest nut on that small length of threaded rod... but where, in the wide world of all fucks natural or otherwise, is this 'stopper bolt'... il post a photo of my particular setup, if you could maybe phone draw on it or something and repost it, I need to hit the shop for a drain and fill of brain fluid... thanks. 2.)To confirm on this service bulletin diagram, just grabbing the mechanism and turning it cw or ccw doesn't change a daggum thing because the top and bottom of its housing just spin right? without the threaded rod having somewhere to move, once the little lock nut is undone a turn or so, am I at least, at the bare assed minimum, correct on that?

    the stopper bolt is the threaded rod you loosened the locknut from.

    If you look at the drawing provided above you will see in the upper right corner area a bolt labeled "Pedal Height Adjustment Point". That is the "Stopper Bolt".

    Below is the rod adjustment that make the rod longer or shorter for the clutch master cylinder.

    Ok cool guys, but to be clear, just turning the stopper bolt does nothing right? Its just spinning free without a loosened locknut right?

    No. See above where I showed you where the stopper bolt is. The stopper bolt has nothing to do with the rod adjustment. These are two different functions.

    Stopper Bolt adjusts the top position of the pedal when released.
    The Rod adjusted the push rod play and freeplay adjustment points.
