    i need some help, i put the motor back together, plugged in all electrical plugs, replaced all fuses, but the truck wont crank, all the lights come on, but i cant get the notor to turn over......I also replaced the starter relay. Would it be something with the starter itself.:confused:

    whats your input?
    i'll try any of your suggestions,
    cant wait to here from you guys

    did you try spinning the motor by hand to see if it can turn over..
    if so try check connections on starter. or loose battery terminal.

    turn the key to the on positin go under the truck and with a test light and the wire on the starter the small one. S terminal see if when you turn the key the test light goes on. if so then put the key on position and get a small piece of wire and jump it from positive battery terminal to the s terminal if no crank then it is the starter. also check if the big wire if its connected and good connections to ground and what not.

    Ok, first, what toy story said, did u have spin the motor when it was rebuilt? ( it will be hard to spin but will spin) If so then do what everyone else has said, check and make sure the starter is getting power, both from the battery and then to the s terminal. Let us know what you have figured out..
