Re: Bad clutch?

Welcome to the AF!

It sounds like your brakes are engaged. Jack up the wheels and make sure they all turn freely. If any are locked up (with the truck in neutral and parking brake off), then check the brakes on that wheel. If it's the rear, make sure the parking brake is correctly adjusted, then try turning the adjusting wheel inside the drum to loosen up the brake shoes. If it's the front, they may be stuck for a number of reasons. Time to take the brakes apart (either front or rear) and get them in excellent shape (pads/shoes and drums/rotors).

Your problem may be other things, but this is the place to start.

You may have a bad clutch also, but fix the brakes or whatever locks up your drivetrain first.
