recently tried to start my old truck. it has a 250 in it with a single wire alternator. i have had this truck for over two years and have not had any trouble with the electrical system. it has a new battery, which is about a month old. after a week of cold weather the battery is dead so i jumped it off and got it started. when i go to disconnect the jumper cables the truck dies. reconnect the cables and it starts. this happens each time i jump it off. i had the alternator checked and it is good. the guy at the parts store said that the alternator i have is a two wire one. i told him the truck came that way when i got it and has worked for over two years on the one wire. could it be the battery. i am going to have it checked. any thoughts?
