Cranked really hard so I turned it off and turned it on again and it won't turn over. No clic . No crankin . Tested battery and its good. A ground snapped but for now I bolted part of it to the frame. Any ideas?

If it was cranking hard and then nothing at all and you know the battery is good, chances are the starter went south on you. I would take a pair of jumper cables and do this: Connect one jumper cable lead to the battery positive and the other end of the same lead to the starter where the battery cable connects. Essentially, you're bypassing the cable from the battery to the starter. If that doesn't spin the starter, then you know what the problem is.

Well I don't have my jack or stands or feasible space to work with so I called for a tow. Said they'd look at it after lunch. Pretty sure its the starter. They said they would check the grounds too. Thanks for the help guys.
