Default 91 dodge starting troubles

Hey guys, I notcied this morning when I tried to start my ram, that it would click, so I naturally charged her up and went to work. To let the battery charge, I left it on for an hour and when I shut it it of and attpempted to restart it, she wouldn't start. So i had to be jumped again to get home. I replaced the battery and she still wouldn't start. I think it might be a timing issue. Does anyone have any ideas?

sounds to me like its the alternator not charging the battery. you should pull the alternator and take it to autozone, they can test it for ya for free. if your alternator is still good, then i'd recomend checking the wires running from the alt to the battery, one might have gotten severed somewhere.

Yeah I'd have to agree with powerram, It would seem to be the altenator. Their is a little trick to find out if that is really the problem. Charge up the battery again and start the truck. After the truck is running the one of the post off the battery, if your altenator is good then the truck should continue to run. I would try this out befor you go and spend the money on a new altenator.
