I have recently replace the battery 3 times in my truck. The truck will start and run fine if it is started everyday. If the truck is not started for 2 or 3 days it will not start and the battery is completely dead.

IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH YOU HAVE A DRAW ON YOUR BATTERY. TO CHECK FOR A DRAW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE AND CONNECT AN AMMETER BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND THE CABLE. IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 2 AMPS. FLOWING THROUGH THE METER, YOU HAVE A DRAW. TO LOCATE THE OFFENDING CIRCUIT, START PULLING FUSES ONE AT A TIME UNTIL AMPS ARE AROUND 2 AMPS. FROM THERE, IT'S A MATTER OF FOLLOWING WIRE DIAGRAMS TO FIND A SHORT.
