Maybe it's muffler bearings?
Need more info concerning the problem. You getting 12 volts out the coil during start. These trucks are pretty basic and the 3 things, Fuel, Electric, or mechanical are the things to eliminate.
What I would like to know is where are the wires (3 wire starter wires) going to when they leave the starter. Check Dizzy wiring also.

There are only two wires connected to the starter. The big cable that goes directly to the battery and then the ignition cable. And when I try to start it it click like the battery is dead but I got a brand new battery and had it tested so I know the battery isn't the problem. I don't have the right sized bolt or breaker bar to try and turn the engine over by hand so I don't know if the engines seized or not.
Pull the plugs and spin it by hand. You may just be fighting the compression and stuff. No plugs means no extra force holding the engine from turning.Originally Posted by LukeGirard
You should have a third wire from ignition to starter, The black an yellow one. See if it is taped up or hanging close by and not connected to anything. It usually runs with the wire group that is attached to the engine block drivers side. just under the head. Those are the wires going to the starter. The black and yello wire there enables full voltage is hitting the starter, coil, plugs right at the time your cranking it over. Soon as it starts, it drops voltage to the running voltage.
I have the black with a yellow stripe connected but there is no solid yellow wire. Is that what it's not starting?
It's been awhile thought I should update. The eBay sale fell through but I'm glad it did. I also got a full time job at a pizza restaurant! So with my first paycheck I plan on buying a cheep DD and then with my second paycheck I plan on rebuilding or finding a new engine for the 4x4! I'm not sure which is cheaper at the moment but I will go the cheapest route. I may have to replace the transmission too or have it rebuilt also. I won't have any updates until my first paycheck at the end of April!
