So my uncle and I first came across this issue as a no crank situation and we’ve so far replaced the battery, the connections to the battery, the ignition switch. Now we replaced the starter and the solenoid by doing so we unhooked the battery and when we hooked it back up it began to crank, even without the key in the ignition. Afterwards we checked the ignition cylinder and it looked fine. Next we got a different, and new, starter/solenoid and same issue has occurred.

Update: we actually found a broken ground wire and replaced that now my truck runs perfectly.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Glad to hear you fixed it. Sounds like it was grounded to power.

Take care and let us know if you run into other trouble.
