Could be the battery also the alternator AutoZone does this check for free other places charge about 45$ to do that check

You probably have a direct short on one of your high current electrical lines. I would check connections at the battery, alternator, and starter.

Let me know what you find out.

check and replace front brakes > They wont look tooo worn but they are trust me ! just went through same ordeal 5 days ago . Also while your at it check your pistons on your calipers for free movement i had to replace both due to frozen pistons ! When done disconnect negative battery terminal for a few min. re connect start and drive for a few miles, lights should still be on, stop turn off ignition for a min. start car again and both lights should be off ! let me know,

No clicking mean no power to the solenoid to engage the contact for the starter. If starter is not turning, you will not have spark. It stalled when you drove since not power to turn on the Electronic Fuel injection so you don't have gas. Now you don't have electric to your starter, then I suggest that you have some one to check ECM before starting replacing Starter, Fuel Injection...

I checked the gages of the wiring which went into the battery, as suggested by another person on the site, but nothing looked out of place. I then proceeded to check wiring connections throughout the vehicle and found there were 2 sets of wires on the driver's side which were not attached to its counterpart. I remember the mechanics disconnecting those a few years ago, as they stated it was causing the problem. I decided to re-establish the connection for both sets of wires and the truck started immediately with out any further problems.

Sounds like you have an intermittent electrical problem. Check your positive battery wire going into your fuse box the connection becomes loose. I have seen 2 or 3 Toyota pickups have the a similar problem. Also check Battery connections and the ground cable.

If your pickup has a loose battery cables and/or wires it can not charge to it full potential no matter how new your alternator or your battery. Try turning on your head lights and wiggling your battery wires if the lights go dim or flicker, chances are that wire is loose or has a bad connection.
