I recently got my truck in operation but there is a problem with the starting and restarting. I will get in my truck in the morning start it up drive around town 30-45 minutes stop where ever my destination might be turn off the truck try to restart it and it just clicks like low battery but if I wait a while and try again it will start then the next day same thing it starts right up so I don't think its a battery problem not sure what it is.

JUST FOR GIGGLES--SNATCH THE BATTERY OUT, TAKE IT TO A POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORE.....AT MANY, THEY WILL THOROUGHLY TEST IT FOR FREE

THIS WILL ELIMINATE ONE FACTOR OUT OF THE EQUATION.....BEFORE YOU HAVE 10 OTHER FACTORS ALL MINGLED TOGETHER...........EVEN A BRAND NEW BATTERY CAN BE BAD IMMEDIATELY/ IN AN HOUR/ IN 2 WEEKS/ ETC (OR ANY OTHER MAN-MADE ITEM)

THIS NEXT INFO IS USUALLY THE PROBLEM THAT I SEE DAILY, IF THE BATTERY CHECKED OUT GOOD...SEE "MY ANSWERS" IN THIS LINK
