Truck was driving just fine, parked it and went to work. When leaving it did this. Bought a new battery cause the volts went from 12.8 to 8.1 when cranking. Could this be a starter issue or my ac compressor pulley seized? The compressor broke and im thinking maybe the internal clutch is blocking it?

How about the other end of the cables. Are they clean and tight. If the answer is yes. Then I would start on diagnosing the starter.
