a bad solenoid would have absoultely nothing to do with the reason why, noting works. you should check your battery cables, for corrosion, opens, shorts, stuff like that.

Trace it from the battery out, with a voltmeter. You may have hooked the feed from the battery to the starter incorrectly, or the feed to power the rest of the truck incorrectly. Since you just changed those electrical parts, Id go with a wiring mixup. I dont know your truck specifically, though. Good Luck
