Hi everybody!  
I have a 1995 Chevy Silverado.  
Well tonight the lower radiator hose came off, and all the coolant drained out while my wife was driving it around town.  
She noticed that the temp gauge spiked, and tried to get home. The truck stalled, was able to restart it for a moment, stalled again and now when we try to start it up there is a low spinning noise coming from the area around the starter. I think it might be the starter trying to engage the flywheel.  
My question is wether or not this could because the motor has seized, or is there another symptom that could potentially make this noise.  
Thanks,  
Robert

The motor may be seized. To find out, take a breaker bar with the proper sized socket and try turning the engine over by hand by the crankshaft bolt.
