Take your belt off the truck, find a 2' breaker bar with 1/2" drive, socket and extension to fit the bolt on the harmonic balancer. Try to turn the engine over by hand going clockwise. Does the engine rotate by hand? If not then something is wrong internal to the engine itself.

If your starter didn't line up when installed the starter gear may not be engaging the flywheel. This would cause your problem. If you can't see starter gear, drop the starter and have someone crank it and see if the gear spins. If so, you have bypassed the click. Either wrong starter or if the old one had shims and you didn't reuse them it got misaligned when installed would be my guesses. Another thing you can do is try to jump start it. If it turns over or starts you know it's a bad battery, bad connections or loose ground connection to the motor. I would try jumping it before starter check but I think it's the starter, if it's either one of them. Sandy
BE CAREFUL OF THE STARTER GEAR SPINNING IF YOU DROP IT OUT AND TRY TO START IT.

charge battery.
put trans in neutral, and set parking brake. open hood. take a screwdriver and cross the small push on stud terminal and the large lug that the battery cable is on. if the engine turns over, the starter relay is good. if nothing or just the clunk, use a large set of pliers and jump across the two large lugs on the relay. NOTE: it will spark!!
if the engine turns over, the starter relay is bad.
if just a clunk and big sparks, either they gave you the wrong starter, or the new starter is bad.
do these steps first, and report back what happens.
