Couple questions. Does this truck have dual batteries? Some 1500s have dual batteries so we need to confirm this.
Next here is a guide that will help with this issue in general because this will get us some more info on how to repair it:

Next if you can jump the relay and it turns the starter then we need to find out why you are now not getting any power on the control side of the relay to engage the relay.
This could be a neutral switch or some other issue, but I am going to think that the relay itself is the issue so let's check the power coming from the neutral switch.
Then we need to check for ground to the PCM at the relay. You do this by putting your red meter lead on battery positive and the black on this terminal and then crank the engine. Your meter should read 12 volts.
If not, then the PCM is not grounding the relay.
Please see the wiring diagram below and let me know if you have questions.
Thanks
