Ran battery down, charged (took it well), started '52 1/2 ton, stalled it, went to start again adn battery almost flat.

Cables fairly new, spins great with jumpers. Is the battery toast?

If you have a meter, measure the voltage when removed from the circuit and when the truck is running and post.

Depending on how long it was between your start and your stall, your generator/voltage regulator might not be charging your battery either. That's my case; truck will only last about an hour.

Stalled it 60 seconds after starting, didn't get out of driveway. Probably a good thing.
