I bought this truck a few weeks ago after replacing fuel injectors it would crank. It had water in gas tank so I dropped tank and empied it and replaced sending unit also. The problem is now when I go to crank it the starter just clicks. I have replaced the battery and starter and it still just clicks when trying to start when it would crank a week before. Any suggestions as to what could be causing this?

See if you can turn the engine over by hand. It may be flooded from the water. I doubt it, but it is worth checking. If it is, disconnect the ingnition system and fuel injectors, pull the plugs and turn it over with the starter to get the water out. Then squirt a few squirts of oil in the spark plug holes to clean out the water. Check your voltage at the starter. Make sure you are getting a good connection at the starter.
