I bought my truck used two years ago, assuming it had OEM battery so that fact it needed to be replaced after 7 years is completely logical that it was shot. I had to jump start the truck three different times to get out of town and back home a couple weeks ago before I could get a new battery purchased and installed. I had no issues other than the truck needing to relearn the driving pattern after being jumped two of the three times. All I did was disconnect old battery, remove in and replaced it with new battery. I turn the key on and I get everything one would expect, fuel pump, relays, radio, lights, everything but starting. I get the "Starting System Failure" display and that's it. I've tried looking at so many post to reset anti-theft, keys, 8 hours for BCM, I have nothing. Is there anyone who can please guide me to what I'm missing?

Doing some googling it seems that issue is tied to the chip in your key, if you have another key try that. If you don't, looks like a trip to the dealer to get that resolved.

Disconnect and reconnect the batter cables.

Sometimes a poor connection will light up all the goodies but not have a good enough connection to send signal to the starter.

There was a thread here a few months ago where the started needed to be replaced -I think OP had a few failed batteries in a row, so they though. Depending on if the system experienced a poor grounding or arching situation I could see it plausible but it would be the absolute last thing I would ever consider on a vehicle that new in our modern day.

Disconnect, clean the post and clamps and reconnect. Make sure you didn't disconnect a wire (ground?) and forget to reconnect it.
By cleaning, I mean a wire brush if you have one. You probably will not see any connectivity issues with your naked eye.
