    So my clutch pedal has been giving me this problem where it does not come all the way back up and I have to bring it up with my foot. It is quite annoying! I bled out the clutch and it still does it. It also has plenty of fluid. I even had the clutch replaced back in february when it was doing the same thing then as well.

    You had the clutch replaced?

    Seems like a hydraulic issue. Chances are it's the master cylinder but I'd start with the slave first (because it's cheaper to replace)

    Nothing seems to be catching it, (wires etc). The spring seems okay too but, I'm not really sure what the spring would look like if it was worn out or something.

    I had this issue. I pulled it back up and it started working again then I noticed horrid bushing noises. To remedy the entire situation I did the linear clutch spring mod.

    Check the bushings on either side of that torsion spring. If they're shot it could be the root of your issue.

    When you had the clutch done did they do anything to either the master or slave cylinders?

    How many miles on your truck?

    Finally figured out what it was! The brass colored bolt that secures the pedal mount was really loose. Tightened that up and backed the rod that connects the pedal to the master cylinder until it was snug and it works like a champ now.

    Thank you all for the help!:woot:
