Sounds like it's time for a starter or your battery is bad. I'd load test the battery 1st to ensure it has enough power to turn the starter. Just because cab lights come on does not mean the battery has enough juice to turn the starter. If you don't have a way to load test the battery, remove it and take it to a parts store, where they can test it.
If the battery is OK, then the starter or a connection to it is likely bad.

An OBD Actron reader has no way to load test the battery - it is primarily a code reader. Please remove the battery and take it to your local auto parts store to have it properly load tested. Most reputable auto parts stores test batteries for FREE! If you'd like the capability to test it yourself, go to Harbor Freight Tools (or via the Web) and purchase a battery load tester for about $20 - http://www.harborfreight.com/http-ww...9191-html.html
Also, when you have a moment, please update your profile to include your truck's information (year, make, model, 2WD or 4WD, auto vs. manual trans, etc.)
