Update. Timing belt is broke. But at least she was nice enough to do it while idling, at home, in the garage, while I was working on it. Could of been worse.

Will do

K thanks. Ever change a timing belt on a pathy? Looks like a chore

I assume is broke. It happened at idle and I didn't hear anything crash. What are the odds of no damage being done?

What do we have here? Should that not be spinning

Side note: there's a small flat ground wire that's attached to the frame under the hood with nothing attached to the other end, it just has a circle connection on it like it was meant to go through a bolt. Anyways I accidentally let that touch the engine while it was running and thought I heard something spark. It died soon after.

Thanks, my mistake, it isn't firing. Im gonna check relays today

When it cranks it still spits out white smoke like its firing, just doesn't start.

Well this sucks. Plugging the box in gives me no start, unplugging it gives me no spark. So I plugged it in then ran a hot wire to the starter solenoid and after a few seconds of cranking it started. I let it run for a little bit and soon it started spitting white smoke and a pool of water out of the exhaust. Ice recently changed one head gasket and I didn't think the other was that bad, willing to write it off to it sitting for a while and its cold out. Except when I went to give it some gas, it died and will start no more. This sucks, I don't want to lose my pathy

The alarm box under the driver seat only had one wire cluster plugging into to. I unplugged it, turned the key and it was great to hear my starter work again. Unfortunately though it just cranked and didn't start. The battery sounded pretty drained so hopefully that's all it is. I have it charging now, will report back later.

I've verified 12 volts at the ignition switch. Going to try to bypass the alarm next. Thanks.

Everything works but the starter. I'm going to do everything you said in the morning and I'll update. I currently have the starter pulled. Was there a ground wire going to it or just + wire and the ignition wire? I thought it just got its ground from where it boots to the engine

Sorry I should of mentioned this. All in cab fuses are good, the cig lighter 15amp fuse was blown but i replaced it and still no luck. I have cleaned the battery posts and everything is OK on the alternator. At rest the battery is reading 11 point something, probably due to it not running for a few days and all the failed starting attempts. Even when I tried start with a jump from an angry rev'd up v8 still nothing. No current is making it to the starter relay, I pulled the relay and tested it, even with a low battery it should still read something when the key is turned right?

I'm stumped, the battery is good, the ignition switch is good, I tried jumping the clutch switch and it won't start. It's been giving me trouble all year, not wanting to crank every time but usually would start right up after I couple of tries. Well this last time whatever it was that was dying went ahead and have up the ghost. I turn the key and the pump, radio, lights come on but try to turn it and nothing. The starter relay doesn't even click. I got a volt meter and tested for juice at the starter while my wife turned the key and nothing. I tried for juice where the relay goes again with wife on key detail and nothing, but there was ground continuity where there was supposed to be when she pushed the clutch in so its not the CSS. I don't get it, all the wires seem to be in decent shape. This truck did come with a security system that never worked, would it have a starter kill switch that could be giving me problems? What else should I check?
