Clutch OR What!?

So seems lately my truck seems to struggle taking off and when i shift between gears it falls on its face sort a speak and it lugs tell i get the rpm built. This is while running the rpm to 2300ish. I have great fuel psi and no dead peddle so i believe its the clutch starting to go and not being able to hold the motor any more and one else have any thoughts or can confirm my theory

If it were your clutch, the first sign is usually slippage. This usually occurs at around 1500 to 2000 rpms in higher gears to begin with. I've never heard of a bad clutch making a truck lug. Sounds like you could have a turbo problem.

No its not a turbo problem that I know I guess buy lugging I meant that when i push in the clutch to shift the rpm fall back too close to idle and it takes for ever to them back but now the more I talk the more it sounds like it could be the apps because of it going clear back to idle.

Check your codes! could be the apps (but any time you let off the go peadle the apps will go back to the idle setting) could be the IP. What's your fuel pressure? It don't sound like any clutch problem I've ever heard of before.

No codes either way by the key trick or my reader and my fuel pressure is 15psi idling and no lower than 6psi at 2500rpms pulling a load cruising its no lower than 8psi. As for going back to idle when I shifted last night that was my bad I believe as I was tired and might have shifted below 2000rpm. Now today we are going to say a few words of remembrance for my oem clutch the thing is not holding any more I cant even get it side ways in a gravel road. If I jump on the skinny it does nothing no barking of tires nothing just revs. Its taking its sweet time to get up to speed and my shifts are getting clunky. So god willing its going to get a new CON OFE mid October or late September.
