I though I knew immediately what the problem was when I went to downshift while pulling onto the off ramp of a rest area. I figured the clutch linkage died. But after idling while I called a local dealer to see if they had one in stock I was pleasantly surprised to find the clutch was working again. Since the dealer didn't have one I kept heading east. This time on the off ramp to a truck stop, no clutch disengage again. With some cussing a gear grinding I made my way to the pumps. Now I'm thinking pilot bearing. After fueling I started it up and no disengage, but if I started it in 1st gear and kept the clutch pedal depressed the truck didn't budge until I let the pedal out some.
I am now in the parking lot, and am at a loss. If the truck sits still, idleing or shut off, for about 15 minutes the clutch works. After driving it doesn't work. I have never had a pilot bearing fail, so this is a new one. Pilot bearing or something inside the G56. Clutch linkage, pilot bearing, clutch, and PP have approx 61k miles on them.
