Re: Truck won't start

You have a weak battery or dirty battery cables.
How old is the battery?
Cables loose or dirty?
Check and make sure they are tight and not dirty.
Right now to get it started you will need a jump start or have someone put a battery charger on it or remove the battery and get it charged up.

Some parts places will do a free battery and charging system check.
Have the alt and charging system and battery charged and tested.
Tips on finding a good repair shop.
Check around Ask around
Word of mouth.
Family friends coworkers neighbors business people and delivery people.
Mailmen and parcel delivery people get around and notice a lot of stuff.
Even a good parts house knows what shops are good and not good.
Chamber of commerce and better business bureau and city hall.
If you find a good referral to a repair shop go look them over and talk to them.
Look for a clean looking busy place with nice people running it.
Ask a few questions and ask about their qualifications and training.
Not all places have trained tech/mechanics.
If they do not find a place that does.
Even all dealers do not have all trained techs/mechanics.
