My clutch pedal is to low. There is also a sound like the throw out
bearing when the clutch is released. Now I am getting an occasional
popping noise when I press on the clutch. The clutch works fine and the
truck drives fine.

I was thinking that the clutch master is part of the problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Well that depends on what engine and what tranny you have, key
info you neglected to include.

Sorry, my bad. 4.9 and 5 speed.

Ok given that info I would suspect the slave, not the master.
On the 5 speed tranny the slave is in the bellhousing actually slides
over the input shaft and includes the throw out bearing. Wonderful
design, not.  Bear to bleed, prone to leakage, if leaking replace disc
as well at minimum..

I think I found the cause of the popping noise. The clutch pedal linkage to
the clutch master cylinder push rod bushing was coming apart. I picked one
up at the parts store and will put it in later this week.
