Let me start with its a 6 cyl. diesel engine. Went to get it out for the year, no go. Charger on, then turned it by hand with a pry bar a few times started right up. Got it out of shed and shut it off now don't do anything.
When you turn the key, fuel pump clicks (Like its suppose to) and all the rest of the electronics work(lights..) When you go to start everything else seems to die. Hooked the jumper cables up, hit switch or jump the solenoid(thinking switch was bad), darn near stalls the truck its that much of a draw. Yet the engine don't turn over. If the engine does turn it goes maybe a couple inches around(maybe less then 1/16 rev). Got a pry bar on one of the pulleys and the engine turns just fine, 3 or 4 full revolutions(when we stop turning).
We did pull the starter out,hook up the jumper cables right to it, jumped it, and it spun right over. Even took it to a shop, they said it was fine too. Now this is where we are lost: all connections look good, have power(not sure if enough) where needed, and starter turns great by self but not in the machine. Where would it "lock up" or draw that much?
