bit for it to turn on, once it’s on for couple of
minutes (without the cables) I try to turn it on
again and doesn’t turn on, all the lights turn
on but just makes a rapid clicking noise and

Dead battery. Sounds like it is not charging. Test the charging voltage with the truck running.

I think I fixed the problem, I had put LED light inside & noticed that the problem started happening after I installed the LED, so I put back the original dome lights and now the truck turns on fine, maybe those LED created a shortage somewhere, but thanks for the help.
