Depends on what transmission you have. Class 8 is simply a GVWR of more than 33,000 lbs, so you could be talking about anything from a Ford F750 (with a manufacturer's GVWR of 38,000 lbs.) to a tandem power unit.
You don't adjust the clutch brake itself - that gets replaced. If you're trying to adjust the clutch itself, see the related question "how do you adjust a clutch on a Class 7 or 8 truck"... I've spelled it out there already
Assuming it has the sixteen speed Eaton box it will have a twin plate clutch. Measure the gap from the between the release bearing and the front of the gearbox, it should be 13mm, i use a 1/2" ext. To adjust it you need to turn the engine until you can see a removable locking plate held in with a 9/16" headed bolt. remove this plate and with the clutch pushed down you can turn the inner ring, there is a proper tool but you can do it with a small strong bar. Remeasure it with the pedal released, turn the ring clockwise to decrease the gap. When the locking tab is getting to point where is almost proud of the castellations on the inner ring it is time to change the clutch. If it has the zf gearbox there is no adjustment.

Yes, unless you want your clutch to have a very short lifespan. There should be 1/2 inch between the throwout bearing and the clutch brake, and at least 1-1/2 inches of free play in the clutch pedal.

Truck classification isn't concurrent with the license required to drive them. A single axle water truck could be a Class 5, 6, 7, or 8 truck, depending on the vehicle GVWR. A Class 7 or Class 8 truck would require a (minimum) Class B CDL.
Firts, take off the air box, using an 8 and 10mm socket. Then, you should see the clutch cable below that, just adjust the bolt on the wire to loosen or tighten
A dump truck could be anything from a Class 1 to a Class 8 truck. Usually, they'll be Class 3 or higher.
We'd need to know what model of truck your International is (International makes Class 5 through Class 8 trucks), as well as what your transmission is... if you're running, say, a 4400 with an Eaton six speed, the time involved will be a lot less than if you had, say, a ProStar with an Autoshift transmission.
Anywhere from 20 to 300. A Class 8 truck is simply a truck with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 33,000 lbs. Not just tandem axle trucks, but, as an example, the current production Ford F750 falls into the Class 8 category.
Yes. A Class 7 single axle straight truck exceeds the 26000 lb. GVWR. A semi truck is a Class 8 truck.
