    This is my 2001 Tundra 4.7L V8 with 180K. I bought this trunk only 3 months ago. Randomly, when I went to start my truck today, it wouldn't start and was experiencing a very rough crank. It almost sounded as if the engine was seized up, but manually, I can turn the crank and turns with a little compression resistance. Check out the video:



    What does this sound like to you? What should I do next?

    Sounds like a dead battery and not turning over at all.

    The clicking is the solenoid on the starter, which is right under the intake manifold by the firewall.
