This is not possible. If the clutch is not fully engaging it WILL slip. That's how clutches work.
Maybe you should start over and tell us about the vehicle and describe the problem it's having in detail.

What year is your truck? It sounds like your clutch isn't disengaging. Go back to post #2 and check those things out.

You can press a new lever on the cross-shaft that connects the pedal to the master cylinder, but that's a set-it-once-and-be-done-with-it adjustment. It's not something that will move over time. If the clutch pedal comes (or can be pulled) all the way up to the stop, the pedal is adjusted properly.
