Try this, after dark turn on your headlights on brights. Stand in front of truck for 3 to 5 mins. If light dim, I'd bet on a bad battery.

That's the thing, I don't get any power to my lights or anything, unless I unhook both battery cables and reattach them.

In your fuse block, there might be a bad circuit breaker, they are the metal covered blocks that plug into the fuse block. Look for a small rectangle shaped piece about 1 inch long by 1/4 inch wide. They plug in just like a fuse. If your fuse block has more than one of these, try swapping the positions of them.If you have the owners manual look in it for the fuse block locations-look for one marked main, acc or ignition. Hope this helps, electrical problems are a real pain.

Pictures???
Would anyone happen to have any pictures of where the fusible links would be located? I know nothing about them, so I don't know what I'm looking for. Any help is much appreciated. I know this is how you learn, but I am freakin clueless. Thanks in advance for all the help.

I'm sure it's a bad connection somewhere like battery terminals, starter, or one of the grounds. But I'm looking at the wiring diagram and there are two fuseible links at the starter where the truck get it power from. Then three wires go to the alternator, the junction block on the fire wall, and the fuse panel.

Finally
Well, I finally bought a new battery even thought the old one tested good, and I bought new terminal connections even though the old ones had no corrosion. It fired right up. This electrical stuff is crazy...after all of this crap it turned out being a bad connection in the terminals I guess. Thanks to everyone for their help.
