I have ha my truck for a while and have had the same typ of problems with it. My "check engine" light is on, but it has stiil run. Recently the weather was 15 below and I tried to start my truck. it wouldn't turn or even have a battery light. Now a few days ago. After a few jumps the truck seemd to work and that was that. Now it won't start the battery is dim and it make a clicking sound when i try and turn on the inside lights or regular lights.
