I was driving and heard a slight squeal and now my clutch will not engage and not able to shift in while truck is running.

Hello,
Did the clutch work normally before this issue?
Does the clutch pedal feel normal? or too soft?
It is possible for something to get disconnected, so when you press the pedal, nothing really gets triggered.
It could be an internal issue like a bad release bearing or the clutch fork. It can also be the pressure plate or the slave cylinder.
But before looking into the transmission, make sure that all the linkage is connected properly.
Check the push rod that is connected to the clutch pedal and goes thru the fire wall.

Please let me know what you find.
Thank you.
