Re: Anyone have Idea's?
first thing I'd check is the battery too. Take it down to auto zone or somewhere similar and have a diagnostic ran on it to see if it holds charge.

Next would be the Starter after the Battery is checked.

Re: Anyone have Idea's?
just a sugestion if you use jumpers to get it started, and it starts runs a few seconds then shuts down. to me that sounds more like the alternator not working. To me it sounds like during the jump the battery gets a slight charge and jumps it, runs it for a few minutes then runs out of juice. once the truck is started it should not run on the battery just recharge it.just my thought.
