An it went through its little speal an went to turn it over an nothing... an then all the dash lights just turned off.. turned key off them back on an nothin.. took key out for a few mins an it did the same thing again.. hooked up jumper cables an it did the same thing again.. any ideas?

Lose connection on the battery or a bad ground at the chassis or the battery is junk.

Thanks for the idea! Felt kinda dumb that I didn't think of that! So I cleaned the cables an battery terminals. Noticed that the truck had 2 different batteries.. 1 was a wet cell 750 amp an the other was a dry cell 860 amp. So ended up replacing both batteries.. ouch!
