Unhappy Wont Start

I recently had the 90,000 mile service performed at the Ford dealer. I also had a few other things done. A week later I drove 600 miles round trip in hot weather and then the next day my truck will not start. It won't even try to turn over. It appears that there is plenty of battery, although I have not checked it, what else could it be???

Generally if it won't turn over it all it's the batteries, starter, or the solenoid.

Got it running

Interestingly I found that my 18 month old son that was in the cab pretending to be a PSD driver must have positioned the shift lever just enough to not allow the truck to start. I found this purly by accident. I checked the batteries and they were fine. Thanks for the input.

Never discount any possibility.
