Place truck on ground and push fwd and back.....what is moving and not moving in drive train??

Loosen engine mounts.....slide engine/clutch away from spur.

Spin/Inspect clutch and clutch bearings......everything spinning freely w/o crutchy feeliings?
Yes....then not a clutch siezed up issue.
No....will nit spin freely....crutchy feeling.....bearing issues...etc. Clutch should spin freely.

Spin/Inspect Spur transmission......will it spin/move at all?
Yes......are shafts spinning freely?....Yes....check fr/re diffs.....
No to any above......transmission issues/diff issues......

If everything in drive train rotates freely, engine starts, but truck won't move, chk clutch shoe emgagement and then you gotta split open that tranny if it still will not move...

Good Luck
