I’m having a hard time understanding exactly what happens when you try to start the truck. Please clarify.

Sometimes, this has been found to be the ASD relay, The horn relay and the ASD (Automatic Shut Down) relay are the same type of relay. They are located in the relay box under the hood. The horn relay is little used. Swap these relays.
