Video. Wont crank weird sound

[loganjj27]

Please pitch in if you know what wrong. Im guessing no compression in some cylinder. Maybe blown gasket. Bad rings. Melted piston. Like i said Im not sure so please help.

Im not positive but to start the vaccum pump is loud and sounds like its about to take out on you. Look into that. The miss on startup is not good.. You want a nice even crank. But if you listen closely the starter does not sound right... Id replace the starter first being that its cheap and go from there. Moving forward- why the truck did not fire and start is another question. That could be a number of things that you would need a monitor for to make sure all the values/pressures all in line to fire engine.

looks like u had some coolant blowing out of the degas bottle, unless thats dirt?. if its coolant how long have you been driving it like that

It takes a minimum RPM to start and it doesn't sound fast enough to me.

Unless you had a generator running that was out of sight, unplug the vacuum pump. Get a couple of hot batteries and try again. Jumper cables won't cut it. If the starter still has the hiccup in it with hot batteries it may be toast.

How many miles? Does it have oil in it? Does it fill the fuel bowl? Any history on truck? Do you have the ability to scan for codes or view data stream?

Definitely a dead cylinder, an almost dead batteries and a worn out fuel pump. (oil doesn't look too good)

Of course my impression!

i would have a good close look at that ring gear first. the entire ring gear

[loganjj27]

What is the ring gear. It has oil. It doesn't look like it has puked any but it could have. I know nothing about it just have the chance to buy it. I have a scan gauge. Just tell me what parameters to watch and ill put them up here. Thanks alot for the replys

Yup that be one sick puppy there.

The ring gear on the flywheel/flexplate that the starter engages. You will need to pull the starter and turn the engine over by hand and look at every tooth on the gear.

Ok gotcha . I really believe the sound is coming from top of engine and not below.
