If the truck started after you did all the work than you didn't wire it wrong, I would check all of your connections again though.

Otherwise the bendix could be jammed between the teeth on the flywheel,
Turning the engine over by hand should correct it.
Have you checked if the battery voltage is going in and out of the solenoid?
New doesn't necessarily mean it's good.

If not, you will know what component is not sending the voltage on and it will be the problem.

I was getting ready to grab my test equipment and head your way.
Wife reminded me I can't today, sorry.
I think it is the starter.

I don't know a thing about cars. I am not sure if I seized it or what would cause that. After I finished the plugs I turned it on started it, it made some weird noises so I turned it off and restarted it. The noises went away. I let it warm up a few minutes then took it for a ride. When I got home I turned it off and tried to start it but all I get is a click. I can also hear and feel the little black relays under the dash click. The main click I hear sounds like it is coming from the solenoid under the hood but I replaced it and that's not it. :bash: :bash: :bash:
HOLD THE PHONE..... changed the plugs and weird noises? Did you change plugs and starter parts or just plugs then the problem arrived.

What kind of noises?

When I turn the key the warning lights on dash and overhead light go off when I let the key go they go back on. I don't have a way to test voltage.test light...you can make one if you dont own one....super easy. 12v lamp, 2 pieces of elec wire and some elec tape.
Click sounds like bad starter/solenoid on starter.
Whack it with a hammer (the starter)

Afe you thinking too long of plugs and ran into the pistons?
I would think possibly something got dropped down one of the spark plug or injector holes.
Post by: scout/sniper on December 20, 2013, 10:46:52 AM
Take out the plugs if you have to to eliminate comression.
Post by: mrmoskillz on December 20, 2013, 10:49:30 AM
I probably fried my whole motor. Also the 4 plug had oil on it, doesn't that mean other probs? Thanks Scout for trying to come over

How do I turn it over by hand?Put a socket and a long breaker bar on the harmonic balancer and give it some muscle.
Post by: FC on December 20, 2013, 10:54:53 AM
If you want to turn it by hand: lay down under the front of the truck and remove the skid plate (if equipped), reach up and grab hold of the big round thing on the front of the motor and attempt to turn it.
tbh though the type of noises you are describing don't sound like you did this thing any good.

This isn't sounding good, you might consider having it towed to a mechanic to get it straightened out.:yeah: Without being there when this all went down, it is very hard to diagnose.

No. It ran fine and motor sounded good. I turned it off and wont start again.

How did we get to a siezed engine, or something in a cylinder :dunno:? He said it started, ran, and test drove it, yes he did say it made some noise but they went away, so im assuming ran ok, then after shutting off and trying to restart he got the dreaded "click".....
A slight correction would show that while yes it started, ran and even drove it made a bunch of noises it didn't previously make and after one drive won't start again. Without being there I can only advise starting with basics and keeping it simple. I am going to guess that it didn't run very well if it was making a bunch of new noises either...

Sorry, I thought you said earlier it made weird noises when you started it after changing the plugs.
Post by: Buckmark on December 20, 2013, 11:06:18 AM
I would take out the starter and have it tested first.Be carefull with this as a bench test the starter may spin but still be bad under load.
But its a place to start, heck just buy a replacment (get a good one, not the cheapest on the shelf :twocents:) and throw parts at it.....
But first, check for keyed power to the starter....

I'm voting for bad connection somewhere, or low battery voltage.

I'm wondering if his starter stayed engaged in the flywheel while the motor was running. Fried the starter.
:yeah: I just got done going through this, I took the starter apart and even the magnets inside were melted. if the starter was still engaged to the flywheel then it was spinning nonstop just super heating the starter. it could be something as simple as the brushes being bad too, but on a car that new, its probably cheaper to replace the whole starter. You said you wired it wrong, my stepdad just did this last week on a jetta and it caused the starter to have constant power off the alternator, I assume that's what you did?
