Put in a new 12 volt battery last month. Last night sitting with just the parking lights on and engine NOT running, the truck would not start. Jumped the battery and it started right away. Drove it a mile with headlights on and parked it. Dead again.
Jumped it this morning and its seems fine. Started it about 6 times no problem. When I put the volt meter on the battery it reads 11.45 and when running it showed about 11.25 volts.
I will recheck grounds and belt tension but I believe they are okay.
Is there a way to check the output of the alternator on the truck?
