I drove my truck to a friends house and shut it off.10 minutes later I went out and it would barely crank over it wouldn't jump. I took the batteries and had them load tested they are fine I took out the starter its fine checked the fuses none blown. The truck cranks over but just not fast enough to start the truck.

check the ac compressor bearing for being seized as it will make the truck barely crank over. We see a lot of this in our fleet
