I have put in a new battery, waterpump, and alternator. But for some reason it does this. Sometimes it starts fine, other times its dead and have to get a jump, now its making a clicking noise when trying to start. Please help. Have had things checked said battery was good and alternator and starter good. Dont know what else to check

If a jump start gets it going then it can only be either a dead/bad battery or bad connection at the battery, assuming you don't have something staying on a draining the battery.
