Answer
Sandra,

It sounds as though your clutch was slipping for a long time and got hot enough to cause damage.  There is no cheap fix for your truck. You are going to have to have the clutch assembly replaced and resurface the flywheel. After that you can assess any other damage caused.

Good Luck!!!
