    First thing charge up your battery. Then use a test light to test for voltage going to the starter solenoid "S" terminal (the one from the ignition key--it may not be marked "S"). It should light when you turn the ignition key to "start". Something is apparently interrupting the current to the starter solenoid, or the battery is just dead, or you have a security system interference, or the starter solenoid is dead.

    For a current draw test you really should use a volt-ohm meter and measure the draw from the battery in milliamps. It's "normal" to draw 50 ma, but more than that, you might have a parasitic drain. However, that shouldn't keep you from starting the truck.
