Welcome to the forum. If it's clicking when you try to start it, most likely your battery has gone dead. You probably have a power drain somewhere, a light got left on, or parked with the stereo on for too long. You'll have to charge up your battery good and find out what killed it.

Most likely it was something as simple as the door didn't get closed all the way and the interior light stayed on. Or your glove box was open, or something like that. Check all over your truck and make sure that all the lights are off. Once you've eliminated those, and if your battery goes dead again then there is something else draining the battery and you have to dig deeper.

Thanks 95BlazenLT. @El Beautor I think I found what was on. One of the little round lights for the back seat was in the on position an because it was not working I wasnt aware it was on till I was driving it today an it began to flicker, so it was on the whole time without me knowing. Hopefully that was it thanks again.
Now my next question is how to un clog the heater core cuz im hearing that water sound behind the dash board.

Clicking with a good alternator and battery would be the relay. Check it out before dumping anymore cash.
