    5100's all around with OME 884 at 0. Weathertechs, Carhartt seat covers. BFG KO2's 265/70/17. T4R SEMA wheels. 18% tint on front windows. General Springs HD 4 leaf pack, Leer 100 XR shell.
    67k miles and the clutch doesnt want to start the truck. It shifts through the gears fine but you have to bury it and really grind it into the floor to get it to start. Anyone have this issue or know what the cause/fix is?

    I use the clutch bypass button when it happens but would like to find out if theres a bigger issue thats going to strand me somewhere.

    Some floor mats will prevent the clutch pedal from going down all the way. If that's not the issue, adjust the clutch start switch.

    There should be 2 clutch switches. 1 at the top to deactivate the cruise control and 1 at the bottom for starting.

    Thanks for the reply. Its not the mats but I have had that happen before I got the weather techs. Ive been using the clutch start cancel button to bypass the clutch, but im not familiar with adjusting it if thats what your referring to. Ill have to research that.
