Default Truck wont start

Hey guys i need some help! So I went out to go to class this morning and i tries to start my truck and it would not start... Everything else is working properly... the fuel pump is ingaging and all my electronics are working and the battery has a full charge.... when you turn the switch all that happens is the starter will click but then nothing.... i tried jumping it off and everything..... it is cold outside so i figured that might have something to do with it but i dont know..... please help!

When it was really cold outside my last truck would do that, try and atach a jumper pack to the battary and start it up, used to work for me, cuase its a little more juice than a regular jump. It could also be your starter, try and put the jumper cables right to the starter and see if it turns over. It could be seized up. Hopefully thats not the case though. Good Luck!

I forget exactly if you have the battery posts or side screws on that truck. I had the side screws on mine with that issue. I went to an optima deep cycle when it got colder and that crap started figuring that the battery acid mighta been gellin or somethin.. Didnt change so I went and installed the standard terminals for the posts (as the optima had both), got a tight fit and hadnt had a problem since. Not sayin itll work for you but terminals cost 5 bucks vs a 150 dollar starter.Get the thick ones tho, none of those crappy nissan band terminals. Always want a good solid electrical system...

its most likely the starter but check your battery cables for corrosion or loose connections. a bad wire can make it look like a starter problem when its not.
