Thanks again raiderron. Ended up having it towed to my shop - no time to tinker with a couple of toddlers running around. I will report back to the forum with the resolution once I get her back

Just for future reference to people who may read this thread.

Have one person in the truck hold the key in the "start" position while a second person gives the starter a good hefty tapping with something solid like a hammer. Many times the starter will break free and rotate. Having the key held in the start position lets you know immediately if it's going to work or not. After 5-7 firm taps, it doesn't break free and you have good 12v hi amp and ground as well as a good 12v low current signal, it's almost definitely your starter motor seized up.
