I would guess that you have a bad connection at the battery. Clean the battery terminals and the cable ends. If the cable ends don't tighten down properly then you will need new cables.

I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 4.6 and it did the same. New battery but wouldn't start, only made clicking noises. Turned out to be the fuel pump.

Check the wiring at the starter motor solenoid. Mine was corroded and did the same thing. I assume the battery connection is fine and the battery is fully charged.

I had the same thing. Turned out to be the starter relay in the main fuse box under the hood. The one for the a.c. condenser is the same size and can be switched out to see if it clears the problem. Good luck
