I've been getting a lot done on my truck since I got it. Mostly just cleaning and reassembling things. I got a battery and the engine is free, so i tried cranking it a bit.
It was cranking extremely slowly and then stopped all together. I figured it was just a dead battery so i brought it to work and charged it the next day.
Before I reinstalled the battery I disassembled the starter and cleaned it all up along with cleaning all of the battery connections. I put everything back turned the Ignition to check voltage at the coil and battery and every thing looked good. went to crank the engine again and got about two revolutions out of it before it stopped again.
I then pulled the plugs and the engine will crank freely.

I can't figure out what would be causing my problem. I should also mention that i brought the battery in and it tested fine.
