Default truck wont start

so i drove my tuck to work last night with no problem and when i went to start it after work it wouldnt start it just made a clicking sound when i turned it over. My buddy jumped me and it started up no problem, i got home and shut it off and tried to start it again and it just made that clicking sound. All the lights work fine and the power locks work to. When i do try to crank it over my dash lights do dim.When i drove it home it ran beautifully no hesitation or light diming. Its a 2001 dodge ram 1500 sport 5.9L 2x4.

any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks mike

Go have your battery checked out. If your battery checks fine then have your alternator checked along with your complete charging system. It could also be loose battery cables.
