Well dangit. I was doing a couple dump runs today when I noticed the truck just didn't feel right and seemed to be suddenly vibrating more. Luckily the vibration didn't get really bad until I was almost home. I could feel the vibration in the steering wheel very pronounced and even my flatbed seemed to be rattling. I slowed way down and kept my RPMs low, which seemed to reduce the vibration, just to limp home the last mile. I did notice that the vibrations went away as soon as the clutch pedal was pushed in. After parking the truck I pulled off the clutch inspection plate and there is zero movement side to side or back and forth, the teeth looked fine. I started the engine and there was immediately a very noticeable ticking. At idle the ticking is rapid and when I push in the clutch pedal the ticking gets louder and faster. Any insight is appreciated.
Edit: I should add that per the shop that installed my clutch about 25k ago the crankshaft endplay was at the service spec limit in case that could be a factor here. Ticking goes up and down with engine RPM
