Changed starter hooked it all back up starts fine.. now took it to the store and on the way there it stalled on me and under the hood at the battery the negitive wire was smoking like it was grounding out and then the positve side started to smoke and ground out
Direct short recheck the wires at the starter to make sure you didn't pinch one and ground it out against the block

check the starter if you power it on and there is no click there is a possibility tat there is a problem with the motor of the starter.

If memory serves me this truck comes with a starting system that incorporates an external solenoid mounted on the fender wall. The symptom you describe is related to either frozen contacts in the solenoid or the existing wiring is attached in correctly. The way the external solenoid wiring goes is as follows, positive battery cable to the solenoid (large, post doesn't matter either side) then the long large wire goes directly to the starter, this type of starter has only one large connection on it which accomodates the large wire from the said solenoid. There are two small wires some where in the vicinity of where the solenoid is mounted to the fender wall, the wires are identified by there special rubber capped shape one is black and one is red, the solenoid shoud have a + and - mark right on the cast to identify which post the wire slides onto. By your description the starter has asolenoid built onto it. Just run the single solenoid cable wire as I decribed to that starter and disconnect and tape the positive small wire going to the starter. Proceed to connect the two small wires that are located in the vicinity of the fender mounter solenoid to the solenoid as I decribed they should have a round rubber slide over type connector to accomodate the small solenoid posts. If this doesn't work you probably need to aquire a starter that is non solenoid intergrated starter, be sure the solenoid is good, that is the one mounted on the fender wall, the described solution should work if there is power to the positive small cap type red wire when the ignition key is activated to the start position, to check put a voltmeter on the wire while an assistant activates the key the volt meter should read 12- 14 volts only when the key is actived to start.

Leaving a ground wire off would not do that, so I really dont know what you did??? But you will need to check the BIG fuses or fusible links at the positive cable or the under hood fuse box.

I am about to have the same problem with my 2002 ZX2. My shop called the Ford dealer and they can replace it for $450.00...
seems like an awful lot for a battery cable.

What is your question?Seems you are are the right track to repairng the fried wires. Even if you do not get them exactly right right just make sure everything is grounded. The engine and battery need grounded tot he frame/firewall.
