I went to start my truck in the morning the dash lights, radio and everything else seemed to come on, but nothing once I turned key. I have not had any recent problems or signs of a failing starter. I had tried jumping it and still same thing. I do not know what else to check to rule out everything first.

Good morning

I would start by cleaning the battery cables. Then I would get a volt meter and check the voltage of the battery. Let me know the results.
