The starter drive has broken, replace starter.

Your solenoid is bad.

What do you mean when you say it doesn't engage? Is the starter spinning but just doesn't catch to spin the engine? IF that's the case it could be as simple as a loose starter or as bad as a damaged flex plate/flywheel. But it would most likely be the starter.

The starter on your 1996 Chevy 2500 4x4 may not engage due to several potential issues. Common causes include a faulty ignition switch, a dead battery, or corroded battery terminals that prevent sufficient power from reaching the starter. Additionally, a malfunctioning starter solenoid or worn-out starter motor could also be to blame. It's recommended to check these components systematically to identify the root cause of the problem.
Could be a bad starter drive or a broken tooth on flywheel/converter Try turning motor manually (make sure it is in neutral if std.) by using a large socket on the crankshaft. If starter works this way probably a bad tooth if not, probably a bad starter drive

This switch is designed to be sure that the car won't be moved by the starter motor. It requires that the car be in neutral, park, or have the clutch depressed before the starter motor will engage.
