Clutch pedal questions
I have a 2003 2500 Hemi with a 5 spd manual and had a question about the clutch pedal itself.
For some reason in this truck, I find I have to have my power pedals adjusted all the way towards me to have a comfortable driving position. I'm not an overly short guy - 5'9", but it seems like this truck was designed for someone 6'5"+.
My question basically is this: Do I need to push the clutch all the way to the floorboard? It kind of defeats the purpose of adjustable pedals if I have to actually push the pedal a further distance that any other setting.
If I do have to push it all the way in, is there some sort of adjustment I can make to make my life easier?
Thanks for any info.

The pedal needs to make the normal full swing.
I'm not sure how the pedals actually adjust so i cannot give specifics, but what i do know is that if the clutch is pushed in just enough to get the vehicle in/out of gear...Is not far enough. The clutch should be pushed a few inches further than that point tp prevent any syncro damage.
