everyone knows that the battery has no brain, because it's on acid.

I'd say replace the ignition module, check the starter selnoid, and check the starter. When was the last time the truck was started, has it been sitting for a while? I've gone through about 3 starter selnoids in the bast 3 years, they just seem to always go on mine.
