My 89 gmc c 1500 will not turn over. i put new starter in and everything and now im wondering if i can turn the flywheel that connects to the starter by hand so that i can know if something is seized up in there? i can now hear the starter clicking which is a huge improvement.
You can turn it by hand just dont force it.Are you missing any shims and are all your connections tight.Check for good ground and all connections to starter and battery..

Take a screw driver down to the starter and try and jump it.Oh wait have you tried and turn the motor over by hand to see if it is locked up or bound up.If she rolls try the screw driver trick then let me know..

You can take out the spark plugs and turn the motor over by the frt at the bolt that holds the harmonic balancer(or lower pulley),with the plugs out it should turn over pretty easy.
Drop the starter down and see if it spins freely when you turn the key if it does then it might be to tight without shims.Also have you checked the battery and made sure it is ok,or try jumping the truck with another veh? You can put a volt meter on the battery and see what happens when you try and start the veh,if it drops below 11 volts then you should replace the battery.
