Truck started fine all day yesterday. sat over night and now wont turn over. Just clicks once. Ive replaced the starter and started solenoid about 5 months ago and my alternater and belt tensioner a year ago. could my battery just be dead? the little battery light comes on when the key turned and when I go to start the truck.

Try cleaning the battery terminals and make sure they're tightened down. Then look at the acid level in the battery. If it's the serviceable type. Add distilled water to each hole until they're almost full. If that doesn't work check the starter wires to see if they're loose.
