The clutch is slipping big time

You need a new clutch assembly.

Yup, she's right. Your clutch is definitely fried. Have youever had the clutch replaced in this truck before? If not, you've gotten above-average service life out of the existing one.

Clutches are just like brakes - they are "wear" items that do need replacing periodically.
