Mine just did the same thing yesterday, but I had one click with no start. I replaced the starter and its working now. I know with my remote start, if it fails to start on the first shot I have to play the lock unlock, with remote, open shut door game before it will start again.

From: In the fast lane from LA to Tokyo...
Here's most of all the popular possibilities for NO CRANK AT START UP with a good battery....

Could be.....

The starter
Connections on the starter
Nuetral safety switch
Theft deterant system
Starter relay
Starter wire connection into fuse box
Remote start emulator module......

Open, shut door, lock, unlock (with the remote)... It just resets the remote start. Probably not your problem but worth a try. But remember this when you go to replace the starter or battery, because when I try to start the truck and it doesnt turn over, I have to do this after I fix whatever the problem is before the truck will start.
