I went out to get in the truck and the car wouldn't start. It cluncks when u try to start it, but won't turn over. Bought a new starter and replaced the old one and still the same clunck. I thought maybe it was the starter, but it's new. Have plenty of oil, It's not locked up is it?

Hi there,

Pull out the spark plugs and try and crank it over, if it wont go, remove the starter and try turning it with a lever on th flywheel, if it wont turn, it will be locked up.
