Default 2005 4.7l dodge ram 1500 would not start please help

My truck is acting up. when I try to go start my truck up it would not start. All I hear is clickkng noise from the battery and then when I take out the key the truck red security light would flash, the overhead light ans everything else would pulsate and the alarm would go off. I read a few post online and it said that it could be the battery so I replaced the battery and the same thing happens. Im stumped as to why it doez this please help.

Check the battery in the keyfob of your aftermarket alarm make sure it's working, just a stab in the dark but I work on FedEx package vans and when the battery go, dead in them things the alarm does crazy blinky lights and engine won't start

If it still just clicks try hitting the starter with something and try starting it up.
