PLEASE HELP ME Thanks

It is the clutch bearings,they go through a lot of stress,you did not say how much you ran the truck but clutch bearings will last about
1 or 2 gallons of fuel.

Depending on the model clutch bearings will cost about $10 US and is very easy to fix.Just take the engine out, the clutch housing and bearings are held in place with one screw,there may be some shimes in there (note there position!).
