It is definitely the starter you are hearing and not the relay on the firewall?

One known thing about Fords -- if you turn the key to start it and it only goes "click" -- remove and clean the battery cables and posts. You have corrosion between the battery post and the cables. I'd try that.

im not set on anything its not even my truck im just trying to narrow it down. I told him I didnt think it could be the timing chain the way he was explaining it. He said him and another guy tried turning it by hand and it would turn toward the driver side but not the passenger. so that guy told him it was the timing chain locked up the engine. I didnt know you had to turn the 4.6 both ways.
