I have a 96 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. V-8 5.9L
Recently I have had problems starting my truck. This was not every time however. Last week It would not start at all. I had the battery tested and it tested fine. I changed the alternator, put on a new one. Now when I try to start it all it does is click repeatedly. Can anyone help me figure out what it might be?
