While driving along suddenly the truck would not pull any more. The clutch was not slipping prior to this problem ocurring. I dont think that the clutch went out because I can still shift gears with the engine running. I am not sure where to proceed from here.

Hi tnt69969,

Thank you for the donation.

If you can shift when engine is running without depressing the clutch pedal, the clutch is worn.

It is not the clutch hydraulics but the disc or pressure plate that is bad. It could be a faulty or dislodged drive train so you would need to check the axles.
