Just came across an issue with my truck. I was driving around, received a phone call so I pulled into a parking lot to park the truck and shut it off. When I went to start the truck back up, nothing. The radio was on for a few minutes and that went out. I had boosted the truck and got home, my battery gauge was reading over 14 volts and the GEN light was coming on. I placed my battery charger on the truck and hooked it up. The battery showed that it has charged fairly quick so I hauled the charger off and went to start it and again nothing.

Do you guys think this is a battery/Alternator issue?

 

Get it started, take it to a parts store, and have them load test the battery and alt. I am going to guess your battery is going to fail.....

 

free too post your results please

 

Problem ended up being the battery! Thanks guys!

 

sweet..did they test your alt too??

 

Gotta watch those places though.. one time in my wife's Ford they told me i needed a new battery. Little did they know the batter was less than 4 days old..and i was just getting second opinion on the Alt to make sure there was not a problem with it.. When i called the guy out on it.. he walked away into the back and hid there untill i started to leave.

 

yup that's why I asked him I've heard that story to many times..they jump to putting a new bat in an a day or two later the brand new bat isn't working...
