Use a test light on the small wire at the top of the solenoid (your truck is a 99-01 truck, right?) that has the push-on connector. Using a friend, see if you have power to that wire while in the "crank" position. If you do, then it's a solenoid problem (although to have the same problem with a new one would be kind of weird). You likely don't have battery voltage there during "crank".
Here are some fuses to check:
Fuse 20 in the underhood fuse block (50A)
Fuse 20 in the instrument panel fuse block (15A)
Other than that, all you have is the ignition switch, transmission range switch (mounted to the transmission shift shaft), and/or wiring issues.
Checked connectors on the transmission range switch, they looked grungy so I cleaned them. Cranked right up. May have been loose and when I installed the trans. temp sensor beside it lost connection. Either way I am back rolling, or should I say the wife is.
Thanks everyone who tried to help, learned a little more than I knew before.
