so would that explain the red light on the dash and the buzzing sound I got when the key was turned off and out? it was a solid red light on the lower right corner between the speedometer and oil pressure, and it was buzzing until it drained the battery overnight, it didn't blink at all like it said in all the references in the manual.

Verify in your owner's manual (the dashboard section) which light it was and what the manual says it means. That will give you something to work with.

ok so now, I got my BCM to reset and restore itself, and got my truck to run and start and all electronics were functioning, I drove it around a bit last night, and started it 4 or 5 times...now this morning i tried starting it, the key turned on and everything worked fine then i went to crank it over, and it just made a clicking noise and everything shut off again.

That sounds like you've got a short or a bad connection somewhere... that could be tough to trace in the driveway... probably requires a trip to the dealer.

the front control module is connected to the p.d.b.(fuse box). Take the fuse box off and it will be connected to the side of it with 4 screws.
