Hopefully that's the pressure plate and not the pedal return spring. Other than that, I'd say it's ok. And it starts to grab a coupla inches off the floor, yes?
Are you sure you installed the clutch with the springs facing the correct way.....per instructions?
Dumb question but I'm at somewhat of an impasse as to the cause of the illness.

Ok so I took the truck out and got on it in the gears to see if it spun up. And when I got part throttle in second rpm ran up but the truck also scooted so I don't think it was slipping. I may be wrong. And as far as the springs in the right direction I did put it on there the way it was stamped.

When I was testing the aftermarket tach, I hooked up the timing light, secured it under the wiper and went for a drive

I'll have to look at the tach again but I don't think I remember a button or dial for the cylinders. It was a cheapie autozone gauge just to see what it was running at but I think im going to start blaming that and see what happens

Glad you got it figured out! Sometimes we get so wrapped up in overthinking stuff that we overlook the obvious
