    Is there a possibility you hooked up the jumper cables wrong and blew a fuse. check the 80amp fuse.

    I had the same problem... guy in advanced auto had the same problem with his ae... told me to take a cable and run it from my battery positive directly to my starter. if it turned on then the cable was probably coroded or broken somehow... thats what my problem was... so i didnt really know how to replace the cables cuz previous owner did a hack job with the wiring... sooo... what I did was buy a switch for $3 and ran a cable from my battery and one from the starter to the switch in the cab... now turns on everytime.. used to have to jump start or push start 95% of the time... hope this helps in any way.
