ok, solved the problem. Turns out it was the fender mounted solenoid.
her's what it was doing:
the solenoid had a short, the small post was slightly grounded(three posts on the solenoid, 2 large and 1 small), when I would run a jumper wire to the small post it would spark really big then start the truck, when I would try to start the truck using the ign switch it was grounded just enough to not blow the fuse, but kick a circuit breaker? and the small wire going to the fender mounted solenoid would not produce power for like 5 minutes(breaker??) I am not sure if there is a breaker, but when I noticed the large spark when I jumped the solenoid/relay I thought it may be bad and drawing too much of a load.
