I have recently replace the battery 3 times in my truck. The truck will start and run fine if it is started everyday. If the truck is not started for 2 or 3 days it will not start and the battery is completely dead.

IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH YOU HAVE A DRAW ON YOUR BATTERY.TO CHECK FOR A DRAW,DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE AND CONNECT AN AMMETER BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND THE CABLE.IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 2 AMPS. FLOWING THROUGH THE METER,YOU HAVE A DRAW.TO LOCATE THE OFFENDING CIRCUIT,START PULLING FUSES ONE AT A TIME UNTIL AMPS ARE AROUND 2 AMPS.FROM THERE,IT'S A MATTER OF FOLLOWING WIRE DIAGRAMS TO FIND A SHORT.
