Okay. Long and short of it is I was starting my m1008 on fourth of july evening and heard a distinct metal on metal grinding. Let off the key and the starter kept going, and the metal sound got worse. Pulled keys out, popped the hood and poof went the smoke. I burned thru the battery post terminal and several wires under the hood.
So today I installed my new starter (the old one grenaded at the bell) and replaced all the burnt wires. Went to start it up and the starter wouldn't disengage again. Had to pull the battery cables off to shut her down. And all the wires that burnt the first time burnt again.
Any ideas before i tow it to the mechanic.
