You mean it won't start? What does it do when you turn the key? Do the headlights work?

Im having the same problem (I put the engine replacement on hold for now) my truck doesn’t get driven I only move it around in my driveway. I’m just confused because earlier this morning the truck started up just fine but a few minuets ago it wouldn’t start..The headlights came on when I unlocked it and everything but when i turned the key it wanted to start but it wouldn’t turn over and the battery is about 2 years old.

If you don't actually drive it for more than short trips the battery will slowly drain. There is a known issue that idling will not sufficiently charge the battery, and 5-10 minute trips will do the same, so if all you're doing is starting it up and moving it around, your battery will go dead. You need a battery tender to keep it charged.
