I would like to know what is the average life span of a clutch. I think the clutch was replaced in this about 20,000 miles ago. It has slipped a time or two when I use the cruise control. I was just wondering when I should have to replace it again? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Really depends on what you are using the truck for. 20k is way too soon regardless. Was the flywheel resurfaced when they did the clutch? A flat mating surface with the proper finish is very important to the clutch working properly and lasting longer. Also, only use NEW clutch assemblies, the price difference between new and reman in my opinion isnt enough to not go new
