Do the lights come on? Or are the batteries dead, dead. Have you put any new electrical stuff in recently?

So you need to figure out of it is a charging problem, battery problem or load problem. Get your self a digital volt meter, disconnect the negative battery cables on both batteries. Set the volt meter to amps, put one lead to one of the negative battery terminals and the other lead to ground on the truck. Make sure the doors are closed on the truck and wait for 10 minutes and observe how much draw there is.
