    Lately on occasion my clutch pedal feels really gritty when I push it to the floor...is this normal? Doesn't happen all the time, sometimes its smooth and sometimes its really gritty...what do I need to check/service?

    I would start with the pivot points on the clutch linkage itself, as well as check the fluid level/quality

    Before I had the TSB clutch pedal replacement, mine would feel kind of gritty like. Haven't had any problems since its been replaced. I also had the creaky pedal when it was warm out.

    There's a TSB for creaky pedal. I doubt it's all that effective, since guys with newer trucks still complain about it. I grease my pedal (hard to describe where) when it gets too annoying.
