Truck Won't Start

also that positive terminal looks corroded where the wire comes out of it get a replacement terminal and cut the old one off strip the wire back and put the new one on

Which one

 

[ChevyBoat]

Was not the battery....crankshaft would not turn by hand using a 1/2 inch ratchet. Starter sounds like it is whining....I am afraid this may be the second engine I have locked up....however I kept full synthetic oil in it all the time. The last quart I put in was royal purple...I checked my oil and it is a little above the operating range. I put the engine in a couple months ago. Now I am kinda scared. The engine has been randomly ticking a little for a week or two.

[ChevyBoat]

It is a used engine. I didn't take out any plugs to try to crank it

Literally bought the truck in august 1st engine went out in September got it up and running again in October and the second engine goes out in January. I don't take this truck mudding I treat it like a baby. It was leaking oil bad but I kept putting oil in it and keeping it full

 

[jrollings]

Guess you should of took it mudding and caked it so the oil wouldn't of leaked....good luck tho in all seriousness, wish you the best.

I've decided after 2 engines and all the other problems this truck has, I'm gonna sell it as is. I'll save up and buy another one.

In need of advice...should I part it out or should I sell it as is?
