Default 90 7.3 clutch

clutch feels fine works all the time no slipping but sometimes it starts making a noise like when at a red light or stop sign the truck will shake a little and you hear a chattering like sound rev it up a little then it goes away might not come back for a few red lights is it the flywheel wearing out

OR could it be the pilot bearing??

You may actually notice more noise from the transmission due to the solid flywheel, some people do anyhow. You can overfill the transmission to help disappate it if you want.
