I started my truck and began to pull out of the driveway. Suddenly, the engine stops and everything goes dead. The dash and radio came back after a bit, but there is no action on the starter. The alarm system is flashing if I even open the door. I tripped the alarm switch, which only reactivated the alarm. I thought I had a bad battery, but when I put the charger on it, it reads a full charge. My truck will not start, still. Any ideas?

Welcome to the site, thanks for the donation. I didn't see factory theft for the starter circuit? I'd check the circuits at the starter relay in power distribution center, under the hood. Terminal 30 for load side of relay is hot all the time. Terminal 85 is voltage for coil side of relay, goes hot with key in the crank position. I'd also check battery connections.
