Double check all your connections. Battery, alternator, and starter.

I've done that. Its cranks great when you jump the solenoid. It is just not sending any power to the small wire on the solenoid when you turn the key .

The other possibility could be a bad ignition switch.

My brother tried the ignition problem on his truck, found a post somewhere indicating that might be the problem for the sporadic starting behavior - cracks sometimes, sometimes it would not even turn over. However, that did not fix his problem, thought it did but it has returned.
GM evidently put out a bunch of lemons - too bad the government bailed them out - they should have went under with the junk they produce. Why a recall hasn't been issued to correct this problem is beyond me, it is almost criminal. I have an 04 Silverado and haven't experienced this problem 'yet' but as much as I've liked GM all my life - I think I have purchased my last one.
Since he replaced the ignition & cleared the error codes now that the problem has returned - strangely no error codes are showing up.
