The battery died this Saturday after running the radio but drove fine. I replaced the oil on Sunday and now my truck is having transmission problems. It slips into neutral and then slams into gear. My RPM's are at 4000. I have put a new battery in and have taken it to a mechanic who said everything looked okay. He reprogrammed the computer and drove ok yesterday but is now doing the same thing.

If you are using that much oil you either have a BIG leak or your BURNING oil through bad rings

So what does "turn on" mean?? either the engine turns over or it doesnt. If you hear 1 heavy click when you turn the key to crank, but it doesnt turn over, I would suspect you need starter contacts replaced, but only a starter/alt shop is going to repair it, most shops will only replace the starter. Sometime if yoiu just keep trying it will turn over. But dont let it go, get it fixed ASAP.
