    If it's not one thing it's the other I was just going to start the truck and as soon as I turned the key all power left and now it won't click or nothing. Plus no lights in the dashboard or nothing. Did my battery die?

    No click, no lights = battery dead or disconnected.

    Also, just FYI, always keep in mind: combustion requires three things....Air...Fuel...Spark/heat. Full stop. Don't go looking for other shit just yet.

    When troubleshooting lack of combustion, start with these three items FIRST. 90% of the time, one of them (or the lack thereof) is the easy to spot reason
