[QUOTE="Les , post: 797421, member: 63046"] Just because the battery will indicate the proper voltage, does not mean it can carry the load (the starter). If after jumping the battery and the truck starts, measure the voltage (at the battery) to be sure the alternator is charging properly. If so, take the truck to where you purchased the battery and let them do a load test to determine if the battery is functioning properly. At that time you will either have solved the problem, or eliminated the battery as the problem. Due to the age of the truck, I would think the starter would be your next area of interest. Good Luck... [/QUOTE]
