I have been driving my truck to work all week, then when I went to leave work it would not start. I jumped it off and drove it home then turned it off and tried to immediately restart it and nothing. Someone told me my alternator?

Hello, I am Danny.

It is possible your alternator is worn and not keeping your battery fully charged. It is also possible your battery is not keeping a charge. I would suggest having both the battery and alternator tested at your local auto parts store (done for free). I have attached a tutorial showing what is involved. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
