there should be a accses cover on the tranny there will be four bolts max on it and there chould be a little hole on it. take it off. use a flash light and while the truck is off look inside there will be a shaft running threw it has the throw out bearing and the clutch brake on it. so you only see a little bit of the shaft. measure the distance between the clutch brake and the throw out bearing it should only be 1/2 inch. if it is smalle or lager there will be an adjustment screw that you depress or there is one that has a 12 point socket head. while someone holds the freeplay out ( slightly pushing it down about 2 inches) turn the screw. to the nessesary disstance . but keep it at a 1/2 in for the clutch brake if you got to much or less then you burn out the clutch brake fast or you dont use it at all wich makes it hard to put in gear at a stop. but if your not sure of what the hell your doin dont do it. take it to a shop its esay to mess up and when you do 5000 for a tranny an 1000 for labor sucks i used to be the labor and they gave me trouble. some are very difficult especially if they are less then 50,000 miles

This vehicle has both an internal and external adjustment.
1) Have you just lost your free play?
2) Have you lost your clutch brake?
If you still have the clutch brake, then all that is needed is the internal. If you are asking how it is done, you probably don't have the tool for it.
If that is the case, it would better for you to have a mechanic do it. There are some mobile guys who will do it for you on-site, probably locate one at the nearest truck/fuel stop.
Good Luck
