If it just clunks then the starter solenoid is activating without kicking the voltage to the start motor. I have seen that program before.. Reman starter lasted about a week. Took the old one to the motor shop. They rebuilt it and same thing, just clicks without engaging starter motor. Crazy high compression on them motors. Not sure about blowing a fuse though..
Someone worlds smater than me are sure to be along any second..

Thanks for the Intro Ridge(couldn't resist)
If you hear a load clunk when you engage the starter, you may have hydraulic ed the engine. Check your oil level, see if its over full. See if you can rotate the engine over by hand, it won't be easy, you may have to use a pull bar on the crank bolt. I've seen the 6.5's stick an injector, that lets it fill teh cylinder full of fuel, you can't compress liquid. Some times if you let it sit over night, teh fuel will leak past the rings and let you start the engine, but as soon as it starts up, it will be filling the cylinder with fuel. I saw it happen in a street sweeper that stuck tow injectors at WOT, when they backed off the throttle, it was like a grenade went off, parts went everywhere, the crank shaft came out in pieces

Its not hydrolocked. I jumped the starter and it cranked right up. I think its the solenoid.

I'm not sure on your particular application but it could use a slave solenoid ahead of the start. Take a test light. Have some on turn the key, see if you have power going into the solenoid when the key is turned to start. Try shifting the gear selector to neutral and see if it makes a difference
