: Sound like a bad release bearing?

I just noticed last night that my truck has a squeal when you push the clutch in, even if you just barley apply pressure. Would i be correct to assume that this is the release bearing? Truck only has 13,000 miles on it so it sounds a little premature to me. Wasnt doing int yesterday mornng, noticed it when i got back from a 350 mile trip. It will be going in for warranty. but i'd like to hold off till Super Diesel gets a SMF and clutch geared up, but i know it can fly apart if left to long.

I've always had a squeak from under the truck while depressing the clutch pedal. Figure it's just part of the clutch system. It's done it since day 1. Now the nice growl from the flywheel sucks a$$.
