did you try to jump it just to see if it would turn over?
No I did not try and jump it, when I turn the key all the gauges jump wide open for a sec then it just clicks once and nothing, no clicking no roll over , nothing
When I get back to the truck I will try. The oil light was bouncing on and off too now that I think about it.that just started happening ,but there was plenty of oil in it. Oil pressure safety switch perhaps
When the oil light was bouncing around there was no change in the motor, if you held it at 2000 rpms and the light came on and the arrow dropped down there was no change in motor it stayed the same didn't bog down ,or anything remotely like that
Put a socket wrench on the crankshaft bolt a see if you can turn the engine clockwise. If it won't turn the engine is seized. It shouldn't take much effort to turn it.
