I went to start the truck and one click then no power, no lights, no dome lights, no ignition ring light, nothing.

Any ideas?

One click suggests something electrical; I’d guess either a main fuse blew or the battery is to far gone to power the lights.

Can you test/have someone test the battery? What happens if you try to jump start it?

I'll test the battery today. It was running and starting fine until today.
Wolt meter showed alternator was pushing 14+ volts to the battery
