After checking my master and slave cylinders (and fluid level) I determined it was more likely then not the pressure plate starting to go. Not having the time to replace a clutch it was taken to a shop. The new clutch was installed but now the following is going on. 1) The peddle is extremely soft until half way down, 2) the peddle must be pushed into the carpet for full disengagement, 3) the clutch engages just off the floor, 4) it seems to vibrate and make some rattling noises when engaging. In addition, they didn't install the exhaust correctly so it leaks and two hangers are up-side-down (I replaced it myself two months ago and know how it is supposed to be). After two times back to the shop, bleeding the hydraulic lines to death, and replacing the master cylinder myself it is exactly the same way. I am going through American Express to get my money back and taking the truck to a different shop, hopefully better. What could the first shop have done to make a clutch act like this? Thanks for the help, I am in a bad way right now so thank God for beer.

Here is your first post.
It only says the clutch was replaced and then you replaced the master cylinder.
It does not say the slay cylinder was replaced or how much or what parts of the of the clutch was replaced.
Which you failed to tell us about.
A box in the back does not tell us much
There is a clutch plate and a pressure plate and a throw out and pilot bearing and a clutch release fork in there that is part of the clutch system.
If any one or all of them is bad the clutch will not work right.
The only way we could know what went wrong or what they did or what is wrong or bad would be to take it apart and have a look at it.
Good Luck
