starter problem
first off im a brand new first time ford owner. this form has been a great tool in learning about my 87 f-150,4x4,il6 (72k).thanks much.
now the problem,went 2 start it this morning and all it did was click so i clicked it 2 more times and it started.when the high idle kicked in it didnt sound quite right .so i bumped the pedal to try and bring idle down, and when i did it sounded like the starter was still spinning then all died. this all took 5-10 secs.now all i get is a cluck(little louder than a click). being a new used truck i thought the worst mabe engine locked but i put in gear and rocked it and the enginge turned over, and free rolls out of gear.my father said he would look at it when he gets back,but thats this weekend,goin be a long week with no wheels unless i can fix it with your help. thanks in advance. locknut
