When you say it won't "turn over" do you mean it won't crank or cranks but won't start?

Welcome to Ford Truck Enthusiasts, Josh.
Have you had any issues with your starter 'dragging' lately or was everything fine and now, nothing.
Can someone stand outside when you hit the key and locate the 'noise'. What kind of 'noise'.
All cables should be good with no corrosion at the posts.

Yup sounds like the starter gear is not kicking out and engaging. Or like he said gears worn down. Luckily its an easy fix, if you got the money.

Ok, just read all the post that went up while I was posting. Yes, it does sound like the bendix is not kicking the starter gear out. Make sure you batteries are up to par before digging in too deep. Check those connections as well.

No it ain't the solenoid they ain't no clicking. It sounds like the starter is worn down. Its turning but just ain't catching anything. I'm new at diesels and didn't know if it could be something else.
