Hello Zachary, There is only one explanation that I can come up with for your situation. If your input shaft bushing or bearing is dirty or dry , that could cause the symptom of the clutch not releasing. Usually a dry or dirty input shaft bushing or bearing will make some kind of noise when the clutch pedal is depressed when the engine is running while shifting gears.

common problem with these transmissions have the shift fork replaced its probably aluminum a little is alot for those for wear

I don't know what relay switch you are speaking of, but the is a low pressure cutout switch on the receiver/dryer. (Small black tank in passenger rear of engine compartment). It cycles the compressor on and off with changes in the low pressure side of the system. If you have to move anything to get it working, chances are you have a bad wire or connecter going to the switch. Look for looseness in the wire or burned spots near the contacts. Again, I am not sure of the switch you are talking about. What is it's location?

Your clutch disk and pressure plate and throw out bearing need to be replaced.

have you check the slave cylinder to see if its moving when someone puts there foot on the clutch.
And check the adjustment on the master cylinder.

unfortunately, I would say that the noise does indicate a throw-out bearing that is prematurely worn. Or possibly out of line. If I were in your position, I would take the truck to another mechanic that will give you a written estimate on what he/she "thinks" the problem might be. Then, I would take it to the place where you had the clutch replaced and ask them to "please make the noise go away." I hate do talk bad about mechanics, however it is likely that they did not replace the throw out bearing when they replaced your clutch. I don't know if this has helped you, but I wish you good luck
