That was the problem took it off cleaned it real good and it stopped thank you now if I can figure out this shifting issue truck will be done the guy I bought it from converted it from automatic to manual transmission when takeing off in 1st gear the instant you let off on clutch it already is ready for the next gear by time I hit 5th I'm only going 30 the truck will go faster but it sounds like motor is going to blow rpms to high it's not going all the way threw each gear it wants shifted too soon if I take off in 3rd or 4th gear it does ok but run out of gears I have changed the rear speed sensor any ideas
 
Welcome to TTS!

If the transfer case is not in the low range, then the rear has a very low gear (lower than 4.10). If the door sticker is still in place, check the axle code to find out what rear gear the truck had when it was built. There are lots of sites with axle code translation tables, so just search a bit.

Starting the truck out in 2'nd gear is common for a manual pickup. Even with taller rear gears like 3.73 or 3.55. 1'st is usually just to get moving while towing or carrying a heavy load.

FWIW, better punctuation will help the rest of us follow-along with the narrative. Not using a 'period' does make it a bit of a challenge. Just say-in ;)
