Default Battery Dying. Bad Idle

Hey guys I’m new here. Having weird issues. My truck battery dies after sitting for a day. If i can get it started after a couple tries it won’t idle unless i get the rpms up. Runs fine once it’s warm. If it’s jumped by a pack it runs fine immediately. Battery tested good. Alternator failed test. Changed it and still having issues.

Probably the voltage regulator in the PCM you can wire an external one into the truck

Did you check the alternator fuse in the engine compartment box?
