Try crossing the starter relay terminals when your ignition is on (and the truck is in neutral!) If that starts it...buy a start relay. If it doesn't and you have the original starter...buy the complete unit. This is assuming you have checked your battery for 12 volts.....

yeah did all that, finally got it to go. did not start by crossing over the relay. I think its a bad ground wire to the battery. wire shows some burning and wear at the termenal.
Thanks for the help
Tom
edit- found the real culprit, bad + connection to relay on the starter. All fixed
