My truck was running fine, starting fine when I parked in my garage. The next day it would not start, all I got was a clicking noise and the starter would not engage, it would not start at all

Fully charge battery, then test battery and charging system, inspect alt belt, battery terminals, look for anything that was left on. Do these things first if no problems are found you may need to do a parisic draw test, let us know how those things turn out and if you need to know how to do further testing. Jeff
