I was away for about 4 days and when I got back my truck was hard to start then later that night my truck died and wouldnt start at all I replaced the battery at around 130 then at around 8 after starting it 2 or 3 times it wouldnt start anymore. My lights on the dash wouldnt even turn on. Im thinkin that it might be my alternator

Hi:
What I need you to do is check to see if there is a draw on the battery with everything off. Here is a how to:

Also, check to make sure the ground on the engine is clean, tight, and the cable is good.

Let me know what you find.
