won't start(part 2) 12-04-03

Replaced the bat cables before thanksgiving, ran fine. Go to start it yesterday and get that annoying click again! Got it started and took it to autozone to have alternator checked. found out it was bad. Replaced it today, truck started fine. Turned it off, and guess what? Won't start. Battery is good(only a year old), and starter is good. What next?

Probably toasted your battery with the bad alternator, or didn't give it time to charge up with the new one.

Guess I'll be getting a new one. Thanks.

Yep, any time you get a new alt. you have to charge the battery fully.
