Thanks, that might be it. I doesn't sound like it wants to pop, only about every 8 consecoutive cranks. I shut the truck off after work last night. The old starter was starting to "click" so it was hit or miss, and today it wouldn't start after a lot of tries, to I installed the one my buddy gave me, and it turns right over. Maybe a little slower, but Just doesn't want to start. I just tried it again, 10 mins ago, cause I thought I may have flooded it earlier trying to start it. But no go.

It's hard to beat old trucks!!
