NO START
2003 6.0L
Tried to start it this morning and sounds like a woodpecker in a tin can. Anything last ideas before I pull the starter? I looked in the tech folder and there is not much info regarding starter problems.

There is a yellow with light blue striped colored wire adjacent to the passenger side battery in the engine compartment, near the vacuum pump that has a "squeeze-and-pull" type connection. Disconnect it, and jump the male end of the connector to the passenger side battery positive terminal. The starter should crank when you do this.
edit - I guess a hydrolocked condition could also prevent it from cranking w/ this trick.
