Re: My motor wo'nt turn over...
first obvious place to start is the battery disconnect tboth wires and clean them then reinstall them/ after that check to see that the truck is in park or neutral then theres the neutral safety switch thats on the steering column near the floor

Re: My motor wo'nt turn over...
If the battery is good and the cables clean, have someone tap the starter with a hammer while you try to crank it. It could be the starter giving you trouble now. "Tap" it hard!

Re: My motor wo'nt turn over...
You have a automatic transmisson- not straight shift. (no clutch-right?). Your problem is the netural safety switch which is mounted on the steering column under dash. Loosing the two small screws holding it. Put shifter in park. Move the switch toward the pass. side a SMALL amount and try to start-no start move a little more. When it will start, tighten screws. It now should start in park and netural.
