maybe the cylinoyed on the fire wall. make sure there is power going accross there. Do you even get a click from the starter?

if I am reading this right you have power going into the cylinoid but none going out to the starter. if that is correct then replace it.

When I Turn The Key To Start. The Small Wire On The Cylinoid Should Be Energized Which Should Connect The Big Wire From The Batt. To The Big Wire Going To The Starter. But When I Turn The Key The Small Wire Doesen't Get Power To It. Also I Have A Red Blinking Light At The Bottom Of My Dash Looks Like I Mite Have An Aftermarket Alarm. I Bought The Truck Used. I Can Start The Truck And Drive It Like Normal If I Jump The Cylinoid And That Red Light Stays Flashing

find the alarm kit and remove it all, make sure to resplice all wires that were cut, or it won't start or work. You are correct in suspecting the alarm. alot of after market alarms do that when they get old.

Good to hear that you got it cured
Sometimes alarms and remote starter systems can cause all sorts of weird problems.
