Nope but now that we have the code, time to disconnect the negative cable at the battery, then check those ground wires, several have reported loose or even burnt grind wires.
Check the under hood fuse box, it really should be done with the battery disconnected
Check the positive cable to the starter, is it tight?
Check the ground wires at the transmission case down to the right of the oil filter housing and up at the rad cradle to the right of the rad behind the drivers headlamp
Check and ensure the negative cable in the spare tire well is clean and tight
Now reconnect the grind terminal to the battery negative post.
Turn the key, let us know how that worked out.
Well go from there

Checked all grounds, feel tight and look good. Put my digital meter on the small wire on the starter, it's getting 12 volts when I turn the key to crank. Seems like I need a starter.....

If that main cable has 12 volts them disconnect the neg at the battery then remove the starter and take it in to the local parts palace of your choice and have it tested, Advanced and Auto Zone will at n/c.
Take that battery with you and have it load tested just to make sure, it might have a dead cell

It was the starter, was no need to test it, I had 12V on the big wire and 12V on the little one when key was in crank position. That pretty much told me the starter was dead. Put in new one and vroom vroom..... problem solved. I have just never seen a starter just totally die like that, pretty much no warning at all......

I want to thank everyone here for your guidance and help with the situation. I am so glad we can get together as a group and help each other out like this.....

Again THANKS
