Thanks for everyone's help yesterday with my potentially dead starter.
Turned out to be a stuck starter.

"The starter gear may be hung up in the flywheel, which happens from time to
time...put the van in third gear and push it BACKWARDS to unlock the starter
assembly from the flywheel gear. If the fan belt is turning around, the
starter can no longer be stuck, so try it again."

Thanks John Muir and his Idiot's Guide!!
