I was on my way home last night, doin about 45 in 4th, uphill, went to downshift to 3rd and it refused to go into gear or back into 4th. I turned off the hill and stopped, pushed the clutch in, wouldn't go into any gear.

Ended up putting it in 4lo, got it into 1st gear, and I was able to limp it the 1/4 mile home.

Just went out to see if it would move in 2wd or anything. Starts fine, not nearly as much clutch left as there was, but it's still there. It'll go through the gears fine now with the clutch in, but it won't go. I've tried getting it rolling from 1st,2nd, and 3rd and nothing.... I've only had the truck for about a month now, but haven't had any problems until last night.

Any input would be appreciated, thanks...

Sounds like the clutch may be done.

I did something similar earlier this year. Blew the center out of the clutch. Do many clutch dumps I guess.

Check the hydraulics first. Slave and master. Have someone watch the slave while you press the pedal. May just need a rebleed if the fluid is not clear.
