Has anyone ever had the starter servo shaft/wheel get stuck out and seize
everything up? I was trying to start the 88 5KTQ after a long day of work
she cranked over 2 1/2 times and then IMMEDIATELY! halted. From there on, it
wouldn't turn over yet only make a "stuck motor chunking noise" with a click
at the release of the key.

i haven't looked at it yet but it is really acting like a seized starter.
The starter was new 2 Januaries ago, however there were a few periods where
there was hard starting due to the typical issues - which were resolved.

I figure it burned up and it took a crap with the rod extended. Anyone? [image:
