maybe bad starter... if it is new it could be the computer
also check the spark plugs
it could be alot of things
if you go to advanced auto parts you can get a computer diagnostic machine that you pay 80 for..... then they give you 80 back when you take it back

Your battery is probably too weak to actually turn the engine over. Wait until the auto parts store opens, get someone to give you a jump, and go get your battery tested.

Your battery may be too dead to actually start the truck, but not completely dead. Sometimes times the battery will be strong enough to play the radio, and the lights, but not start the vehicle. Did you notice if your lights seem dim???

If it's not even turning over, but all the electrical stuff seems to be working... it doesn't sound like you're getting past the starter.
However, I'm no expert, and this isn't really my racket. I'm just begging for a thumbs down. lol

If your battery's over 4 years old, you need a new one. If your battery is only 2 years old, remove and clean the battery cable connectors with the wire brush below. Jump start the vehicle and drive to an auto parts store to have the battery and alternator tested for free on the car.
