You may have a starter relay thats bad. Or you may have a wire that you forgot to put on when installing the new starter.Just a start.

Ground wires are soooo important. Check and re-check any and all ground wires.

are you sure the starter solenoid is clicking?

just a free easy check- if you turn the key on do you have backup lights when the truck is in reverse? if no then neutral safety switch is bad
