Default '94 Ram 5.2 Not Starting

I have a '94 Ram 5.2 that will not start. When turning the key to the start position, it clicks but does not start. I have put a new starter, battery, and starter relay on the truck.

Anyone else have any ideas on what to check/replace?

you mean it won't even turn over? have you tried removing all the spark plugs at once and seeing if it would turn over?

It clicks like it is a bad starter, thus why I replaced the starter.

Check the positive battery cable all the way from the battery, to the PDC, and then to the starter. There is a fat fuse/fusible link in the PDC.

Another member had this problem did some of the same things, and it turned out to be a corroded connection on the cable to the starter motor......
