With key in run postition dome lights and dash flash ... clicking under hood no start

first time i've thrown a wrench in 20 years ...

1) replaced fuel tank sending unit 2 weeks ago

2) fine for two days than instantly developed a hard start

3) 175k mile starter dies

4) new starter buy occasional hard start remains

5) saturday my wife (the angel) crawls under truck ... removes and inspect top of tank connectors ... perfect ... we rub a little bearing grease around as she reinstalls in the hopes of improving seal

6) yesterday truck wouldn't start

7)cracked injectors ... no fuel at first cranked until i got fuel out of one line

8) 1 year old industrial batteries died (i thought)

9) charged batteries last night, they look fine and are cool to touch

10) today batteries have 12.72 volts ... wire at underhood fuse box has 12.72 volts ... 12.72 at starter

with key in run postion dome lights flicker
gauges go apesh!t
clicking under hood

when key turned to start ... nothing ... no dash no dome nothing
