I've never made or used cribbing blocks before.

Never realized how much I was afraid of getting crushed to death, until today.

I think a good buttering of JB weld will be good-a-nuff before I sell the truck on the market place, or am I overthinking?

When she left our shop in the loaner, after we showed her the clutch,she only held it at about 4,000 rpm in first gear, slowly released the clutch over the course of several business days, and left the parking lot sounding like a fully loaded semi pulling away uphill.
We stopped her before she could get any farther and took the loaner back. Her grandson has since taken her own car away as well, and she voluntarily handed in her driving licence. Probably the safest outcome for both the clutch and everyone else on the road.
