No crank,no start 95 5.7tbi

Could still be the ignition switch, or if the key is not turning far enough the tumbler. Will it crank when jumping the starter with a screwdriver, or since it’s a manual have you tried bump starting it?

Haven’t tried bump starting yet,I’m at work right now. Ignition switch came off of a running truck though,put it back on the other truck and it fired right back up

Think my problem is in my battery cables. Gonna switch them out later or tomorrow and see if that works. But my one cable sounded kinda crispy the other day. Sure it needs replaced

Battery conections, side posts suck.
Get a bolt, I think they are 3/16-18 ,
Run it in till its just snug, dont torque it, you can run it in too far and break the battery case.
Its the battery or the battery connection
Put a bolt in and hook up a good jumper cable to the hot side.
Its the battery or the ground cable
Its the battery brother or the battery connections.

They're 3/8" not 3/16" maybe a typo? You can get these and crimp a 3/8" lug on your cables.

Yep, a typo for sure. Good catch, I hope nobody took that little tidbit of advice.
