'07, 5.9 G56. Clutch slipping at 15,000mi??

I just noticed today while getting on the freeway that when I got into it the clutch slipped right away. I had no pre notice of this. I am not leaking any oil. I have the never run my Smarty jr but on second setting. I towed 3,000 miles with it at that setting just 2,000 miles ago with no problems. I DON'T tear up clutches. Drove UPS trucks for 30 years and never tore up a clutch in them.
I thought I read somewhere that there was a problem with the DMF clutches??

Anyone got them to warranty it??
