Hi,
Quicklook2 probably nailed it alright, but you might as well clean the entire thing up right. below is a copy from a post describing the procedure
Cheers,

Disconnect the battery. Clean the posts and terminals. Leave them disconnected.
Disconnect the fender solenoid and clean all the connectors.
Unscrew the fender stud (ie body ground), just in front of the battery, Sand down the fender and clean up all the connectors. Reassemble but don't forget the dielectric grease. This one can be the worst one since the other end of that stud is INSIDE the fender...
Follow the Battery negative cable down to the frame. Disassemble, sand/clean and Reassemble.
Find the Frame to engine block cable. Sand/clean and then reassemble.
Disconnect and pull the starter. Clean all the connectors there. Sand the block where the starter mates to it. Sand the starter portion of this mating surface too (This is where the starter gets its ground and no ground=no start) Reinstall the stater.
Reconnect the battery.
You'll need to reprogram your radio stations and drive the truck for 20 minutes(maybe it was 10) so the computer can relearn how to manage your engine.
