might be buying a truck, have some questions

Looking at a 2000 xlt 6speed with 151k miles, in the past 8 months it had new water pump, glow plugs. I has a few issues i would like someone to help figure out

1. When trying to start the truck with the key the truck just makes a click, to turn the truck on the guy had to bridge the two terminals on the starter relay in the engine compartment. He put one new battery in, but the other looks a few years old. I would def get a new battery, but i dont think thats the problem


2. he said that the truck has to idle for about 10 minutes every morning before he drives it or it will have no power and/or run really choppy.

3. the clutch pedal sticks out really far past the brake and throttle pedel, i think the guy might have disconnected the clutch switch so he could start it without using the pedal, but would that cause the pedal to stick out really far??


let me know your thoughts
