Help /electrical problem

Hello guys

Here the problem I have to jump my truck now to get it started

The alt is good had it tested along with the battery what gives????

I hate wireing

Start at the basics---get a good heavy duty set of battery cables. Clean ALL of the connection points for the cables (at the battery and at the starter and ground points). Check all of the other wiring connections for anything that might be loose.

If so, then disconnect the leads to the stereo and start from scratch.

This was the exact same issue I had, only mine was caused by a couple of things. Make sure every wire is connected nice and tight (mine had a bad post on the starter and caused the solenoid to go bad). Once I changed out the starter, that fixed that part of the problem. My next issue was my battery. I replaced that and now she starts right up. I think you can replace just the solenoid, but I just went ahead and replaced the whole starter. Mine was making a clicking sound when I would turn the key. I would say it's the solenoid on the starter...hope that helps.
