Sounds like your batteries are too low to crank it.If you have a volt gauge in the dash and when you try to crank it it goes way down will tell you maybe.Also could be a bad battery.So you should have the batteries checked with something that loads them.Just putting a volt meter on them is not good enough.Also check all the cables and clean the ends.Cables can get corroded inside where you cant see it sometimes.Once you have good voltage that doesnt fall down real fast it will probably crank.Big truck batteries go bad.They have a bad life.Sometimes good batteries will last 3 or 4 years but 2 is all you can get sometimes.If one is bad you are better off to replace the others because in a short time they will go bad too usually.Also it could be the alternator has quit,so maybe you will want to pull it too and get it checked,or get it started and see if it charges high.If some diodes are out of the alternator it might put out 12 volts but it needs to put out about 14.Its probably a bad alternator or bad battery dragging them all down.Happens all the time.Some alternators wont last but 100,000 miles,some batteries wont last that long either.

The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
