After about 40 miles of steady interstate driving, I got off onto the exit ramp, and pushed in the clutch, but it didn't disengage. After I pulled over, I stopped the engine, put the truck in first gear, depressed the clutch and it started right up, with the clutch disengaged. I then started rolling, and went to go to second gear with the the same results, the clutch didn't disengage. The pedal feels as normal, the clutch just won't disengage. I've had a slight squeal when releasing the clutch when first getting rolling on an uphill grade, or while pulling a load. I'm wondering if this sounds more like I need a new clutch, or simply a problem with the master/slave cylinder.

If the pedal feels normal it is most likely a problem with the clutch.That mileage may be a little premature, but that also depends on how the truck has been driven
