Just to recap, here is what is happening.
I hook the battery up (good charge), go to start the truck, and the electric kills and I hear a click from the starter. Being told it might be the solenoid, I adusted the electricity so it worked again, and then use plyers to bypass the solenoid, and it kills the electricity and I hear a click from the starter.
Now, a month prior to this incident, I would turn the ignition to start the truck and the starter would click, over and over very fast. I was told this was a weak battery, well, it did the same thing while being jumped by an F150, and a different battery.
I hear the same click now that I did with before, only it does it once, and stops.
Now, when I crossed the poles of the solenoid, there was some sparks from the connection, then a cutout. I move the positive battery terminal, and it turns back on, this being with and without the pressure of a vice-clamp on it.
I have no idea whats going on.... really.... any ideas? suggestions? experience with these issues?
