Sounds crazy, but if you are still having the issue try getting out of the car shutting all of the doors and then lock it with the key fob, then unlock it again. Then get in a try to crank it. This happened to me a couple times and the truck will block the starter from cranking for security reasons. Give her a nice pat and let her know she is safe and sound at home and there is no reason to be angsty.

Good luck! I hope this is the issue...

Mine is doing the exact same thing. I left it with my dad while I was gone for work still haven't gotten her started. Mine was left in the cold garage since dec27th or so. Lol I got home Saturday to get the black beast but she wouldn't start. We tried a new battery same thing. I have lights on the dash but won't even make a noise to try to start.

This happened to mine recently. Whack the starter lightly with a hammer and check battery terminals.

Ill have to give that a go once I get home. Currently up in michigan for work. I really wanted to bring the disco up here since it's snowing yet again lol. I cleaned both terminals Friday when I went to start her up. They were actually clean but I cleaned them up anyway.

Update.....I just messed around a little more and the CLICK noise I hear is from the starter. Does that mean it's bad?

Crawl under it and hit it from underneath. That's where you have the clearest shot at it.
